On General Volume-Preserving Mechanical Systems via Cohomology

We present the general form of equations that generate a volume-preserving flow on a symplectic manifold(Μ,ω) via the highest Euler-Lagrange cohomology. It is shown that for every volume-preserving fiow there are some 2-forms that play a similar role to the Hamiltonian in the Hamilton mechanics and the ordinary canonical equations with Hamiltonian H are included as a special case with a 2-form Hω/(n - 1).

Entropy Production: From Open Volume-Preserving to Dissipative Systems

We generalize Gaspard's method for computing the -entropy production rate in Hamiltonian systems to dissipative systems with attractors considered earlier by Tél, Vollmer, and Breymann. This approach leads to a natural definition of a coarse-grained Gibbs entropy which is extensive, and which can be expressed in terms of the SRB measures and volumes of the coarse-graining sets which cover the attractor. One can also study the entropy and entropy production as functions of the degree of resolution of the coarse-graining process, and examine the limit as the coarse-graining size approaches zero. We show that this definition of the Gibbs entropy leads to a positive rate of irreversible entropy production for reversible dissipative systems. We apply the method to the case of a two-dimensional map, based upon a model considered by Vollmer, Tél, and Breymann, that is a deterministic version of a biased-random walk. We treat both volume-preserving and dissipative versions of the basic map, and make a comparison between the two cases. We discuss the -entropy production rate as a function of the size of the coarse-graining cells for these biased-random walks and, for an open system with flux boundary conditions, show regions of exponential growth and decay of the rate of entropy production as the size of the cells decreases. This work describes in some detail the relation between the results of Gaspard, those of of Tél, Vollmer, and Breymann, and those of Ruelle, on entropy production in various systems described by Anosov or Anosov-like maps.     

An Objective Prior from a Scoring Rule

In this paper, we introduce a novel objective prior distribution levering on the connections between information, divergence and scoring rules. In particular, we do so from the starting point of convex functions representing information in density functions. This provides a natural route to proper local scoring rules using Bregman divergence. Specifically, we determine the prior which solves setting the score function to be a constant. Although in itself this provides motivation for an objective prior, the prior also minimizes a corresponding information criterion.     

Difference Discrete Variational Principles,Euler—Lagrange Cohomology and Symplectic,Multisymplectic Structures I：Difference Discrete Variational Principle

In this first paper of a series,we study the difference discrete variational principle in the framework of multi-parameter differential approach by regarding the forward difference as an entire geometric object in view of noncommutative differential geometry.Regarding the difference as an entire geometric object,the difference discrete version of Legendre transformation can be introduced.By virtue of this variational principle,we can discretely deal with the variation problems in both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonican formalisms to get difference discrete Euler-Lagrange equations and canonical ones for the difference discrete versions of the classical mechanics and classical field theory.     

A Note on Symplectic Algorithm

We present the symplectic algorithm in the Lagrangian formalism for the Hamiltonian systems by virtue of the noncommutative differential calculus with respect to the discrete time and the Euler-Lagrange cohomological concepts. We also show that the trapezoidal integrator is symplectic in certain sense.``     

Para-Hamiltonian form for General Autonomous ODE Systems: Introductory Results

We propose a new tool to deal with autonomous ODE systems for which the solution to the Hamiltonian inverse problem is not available in the usual, classical sense. Our approach allows a class of formally conserved quantities to be constructed for dynamical systems showing dissipative behavior and other, more general, phenomena. The only ingredients of this new framework are Hamiltonian geometric mechanics (to sustain certain desirable properties) and the direct reformulation of the notion of the derivative along the phase curve. This seemingly odd and inconsistent marriage of apparently remote ideas leads to the existence of the generator of motion for every autonomous ODE system. Having constructed the generator, we obtained the Lie invariance of the symplectic form ω for free. Various examples are presented, ranging from mathematics, classical mechanics, and thermodynamics, to chemical kinetics and population dynamics in biology. Applications of these ideas to geometric integration techniques of numerical analysis are suggested.     

On the Hamiltonian interpolation of near-to-the identity symplectic mappings with application to symplectic integration algorithms

We reconsider the problem of the Hamiltonian interpolation of symplectic mappings. Following Moser's scheme, we prove that for any mapping , analytic and -close to the identity, there exists an analytic autonomous Hamiltonian system, H such that its time-one mapping _H differs from by a quantity exponentially small in 1/. This result is applied, in particular, to the problem of numerical integration of Hamiltonian systems by symplectic algorithms; it turns out that, when using an analytic symplectic algorithm of orders to integrate a Hamiltonian systemK, one actually follows exactly, namely within the computer roundoff error, the trajectories of the interpolating Hamiltonian H, or equivalently of the rescaled Hamiltonian K=^-1H, which differs fromK, but turns out to be ⁵ close to it. Special attention is devoted to numerical integration for scattering problems.

Difference Discrete Variational Principle,Euler—Lagrange Cohomology and Symplectic,Multisymplectic Structures II：Euler—Lagrange Cohomology

In this second paper of a series of papers,we explore the difference discrete versions for the Euler-Lagrange cohomology and apply them to the symplectic or multisymplectic geometry and their preserving properties in both the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms for discrete mechanics and field theory in the framework of multiparameter differential approach.In terms of the difference discrete Euler-Lagrange cohomological concepts,we show that the symplectic or multisymplectic geometry and their difference discrete structure-preserving properties can always be established not only in the solution spaces of the discrete Euler-Lagrange or canonical equations erived by the difference discrete variational principle but also in the function space in each case if and only if the relevant closed Euler-Lagrange cohomological conditions are satisfied.     

Dynamical manifestations of Hamiltonian monodromy

Monodromy is the simplest obstruction to the existence of global action–angle variables in integrable Hamiltonian dynamical systems. We consider one of the simplest possible systems with monodromy: a particle in a circular box containing a cylindrically symmetric potential-energy barrier. Systems with monodromy have nontrivial smooth connections between their regular Liouville tori. We consider a dynamical connection produced by an appropriate time-dependent perturbation of our system. This turns studying monodromy into studying a physical process. We explain what aspects of this process are to be looked upon in order to uncover the interesting and somewhat unexpected dynamical behavior resulting from the nontrivial properties of the connection. We compute and analyze this behavior.     

A Note on Symplectic,Multisymplectic Scheme in Finite Element Method

We find that with uniform mesh, the numerical schemes derived from finite element method can keep a preserved symplectic structure in one-dimensional case and a preserved multisymplectic structure in two-dimensional case respectively. These results are in fact the intrinsic reason why the numerical experiments show that such finite element algorithms are accurate in practice.     

Nonlinear Connections and Nearly Autoparallel Maps in General Relativity

We apply the method of moving anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connections to the (pseudo) Riemannian space geometry and examine the conditions when locally anisotropic structures (Finsler like and more general ones) could be modeled in the general relativity theory and/or Einstein–Cartan–Weyl extensions [1]. New classes of solutions of the Einstein equations with generic local anisotropy are constructed. We formulate the theory of nearly autoparallel (na) maps generalizing the conformal transforms and formulate the Einstein gravity theory on na–backgrounds provided with a set of na–map invariant conditions and local conservation laws. There are illustrated some examples when vacuum Einstein fields are generated by Finsler like metrics and chains of na–maps.     

On Symplectic and Multisymplectic Structures and Their Discrete Versions in Lagrangian Formalism

We introduce the Euler-Lagrange cohomology to study the symplectic and multisymplectic structures and their preserving properties in finite and infinite dimensional Lagrangian systems respectively.We also explore their certain difference discrete counterparts in the relevant regularly discretized finite and infinite dimensional Lagrangian systems by means of the difference discrete variational principle with the difference being regarded as an entire grometric object and the noncommutative differential calculus on regular lattice.In order to show that in all these cases the symplectic and multisymplectic preserving properties do not necessarily depend on the relevant Euler-Lagrange equations,the Euler-Lagrange cohomological concepts and content in the configuration space are employed.     

Birkhoffian symplectic algorithms derived from Hamiltonian symplectic algorithms

In this paper, we focus on the construction of structure preserving algorithms for Birkhoffian systems, based on existing symplectic schemes for the Hamiltonian equations. The key of the method is to seek an invertible transformation which drives the Birkhoffian equations reduce to the Hamiltonian equations. When there exists such a transformation,applying the corresponding inverse map to symplectic discretization of the Hamiltonian equations, then resulting difference schemes are verified to be Birkhoffian symplectic for the original Birkhoffian equations. To illustrate the operation process of the method, we construct several desirable algorithms for the linear damped oscillator and the single pendulum with linear dissipation respectively. All of them exhibit excellent numerical behavior, especially in preserving conserved quantities.
