Closed Characteristics of Second-order Lagrangians
We study the existence of closed characteristics on three-dimensional energy manifolds of second-order Lagrangian systems. These manifolds are always noncompact, connected, and not necessarily of contact type. Using the specific geometry of these manifolds, we prove that the number of closed characteristics on a prescribed energy manifold is bounded below by its second Betti number, which is ea...
متن کاملOptimization problems via second order Lagrangians
The aim of this paper is to study several optimality properties in relation with a second order Lagrangian and its associated Hamiltonian. Section 1 includes original results on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian dynamics based on second order Lagrangians, Riemannian metrics determined by second order Lagrangians, second order Lagrangians linear affine in acceleration, and the pull-back of Lagrange sin...
متن کاملEvolution of second-order cosmological perturbations
We present a method for constructing gauge-invariant cosmological perturbations which are gaugeinvariant up to second order. As an example we give the gauge-invariant definition of the second order curvature perturbation on uniform density hypersurfaces. Using only the energy conservation equation we show that this curvature perturbation is conserved at second order on large scales for adiabati...
متن کاملContact and non-contact type Hamiltonian systems generated by second-order Lagrangians
We show that some very naturally occurring energymanifolds that are induced by second-order Lagrangians L = L(u, u′, u′′) are not, in general, of contact type in (R4, ω). We also comment on the more general question whether there exist any contact forms on these energy manifolds for which the associated Reeb vector field coincides with the Hamiltonian vector field.
متن کاملDegenerate Time-dependent Lagrangians of Second Order: the Fourth Order Diierential Equation Problem
We develop a constraint algorithm for degenerate time-dependent Lagrangians of second order and solve the so-called fourth order diierential equation problem. The study is inspired in the Gotay and Nester constraint algorithm and the notion of intermediate spaces introduced by Grr acia, Pons and Romm an-Roy.
