Variational integrators for degenerate Lagrangians, with application to point vortices
We develop discrete mechanics and variational integrators for a class of degenerate Lagrangian systems, and apply these integrators to a system of point vortices. Excellent numerical behavior is observed. A longer term goal is to use these integration methods in the context of control of mechanical systems, such as coordinated groups of underwater vehicles. In fact, numerical evidence given in ...
متن کاملDiscrete Calculus of Variations for Quadratic Lagrangians. Convergence Issues
Abstract. We study in this paper the continuous and discrete Euler-Lagrange equations arising from a quadratic lagrangian. Those equations may be thought as numerical schemes and may be solved through a matrix based framework. When the lagrangian is time-independent, we can solve both continuous and discrete Euler-Lagrange equations under convenient oscillatory and nonresonance properties. The ...
متن کاملGamma-convergence of Variational Integrators for Constrained Systems
For a physical system described by a motion in an energy landscape under holonomic constraints, we study the -convergence of variational integrators to the corresponding continuum action functional and the convergence properties of solutions of the discrete Euler–Lagrange equations to stationary points of the continuum problem. This extends the results in Müller and Ortiz (J. Nonlinear Sci. 14:...
متن کاملQuantum Caustics for Systems with Quadratic Lagrangians
We study caustics in classical and quantum mechanics for systems with quadratic Lagrangians of the form L = 1 2 ẋ − 1 2 λ(t)x − μ(t)x. We derive a closed form of the transition amplitude on caustics and discuss their physical implications in the Gaussian slit (gedanken-)experiment. Application to the quantum mechanical rotor casts doubt on the validity of Jevicki’s correspondence hypothesis whi...
متن کاملConvergence of Asynchronous Variational Integrators in Linear Elastodynamics
Within the setting of linear elastodynamics of simple bodies, we prove that the discrete action functional obtained by following the scheme of asynchronous variational integrators converges in time. The convergence in space is assured by standard arguments when the finite element mesh is progressively refined. Our strategy exploits directly the action functional. In particular, we show that, if...
