Discrete variational Hamiltonian mechanics
The main contribution of this paper is to present a canonical choice of a Hamiltonian theory corresponding to the theory of discrete Lagrangian mechanics. We make use of Lagrange duality and follow a path parallel to that used for construction of the Pontryagin principle in optimal control theory. We use duality results regarding sensitivity and separability to show the relationship between gen...
متن کاملA Variational Principle for Quasistatic Mechanics
Quasistatic mechanical systems are those in which mass or acceleration are sufficientlysmall that the inertial term mu in F = mu is negligible compared to dissipative forces. In roboticsquasistatic mechanics may be used for systems with friction when motions are sufficiently slow. Here weconsider a general quasistatic system with constraints and both dissipative and conservative for...
متن کاملVariational Principle underlying Scale Invariant Social Systems
MaxEnt’s variational principle, in conjunction with Shannon’s logarithmic information measure, yields only exponential functional forms in straightforward fashion. In this communication we show how to overcome this limitation via the incorporation, into the variational process, of suitable dynamical information. As a consequence, we are able to formulate a somewhat generalized Shannonian Maximu...
متن کاملA Variational Principle for Eigenvalue Problems of Hamiltonian Systems
We consider the bifurcation problem u+λu = N(u) with two point boundary conditions where N(u) is a general nonlinear term which may also depend on the eigenvalue λ. We give a variational characterization of the bifurcating branch λ as a function of the amplitude of the solution. As an application we show how it can be used to obtain simple approximate closed formulae for the period of large amp...
متن کامل$(varphi_1, varphi_2)$-variational principle
In this paper we prove that if $X $ is a Banach space, then for every lower semi-continuous bounded below function $f, $ there exists a $left(varphi_1, varphi_2right)$-convex function $g, $ with arbitrarily small norm, such that $f + g $ attains its strong minimum on $X. $ This result extends some of the well-known varitional principles as that of Ekeland [On the variational principle, J. Ma...
