Noether’s Symmetry Theorem for Variational and Optimal Control Problems with Time Delay
We extend the DuBois–Reymond necessary optimality condition and Noether’s symmetry theorem to the time delay variational setting. Both Lagrangian and Hamiltonian versions of Noether’s theorem are proved, covering problems of the calculus of variations and optimal control with delays.
متن کاملHamiltonian Systems and Noether’s Theorem
This paper uses the machinery of symplectic geometry to make rigorous the mathematical framework of Hamiltonian mechanics. This framework is then shown to imply Newton’s laws and conservation of energy, thus validating it as a physical theory. We look at symmetries of physical systems in the form of Lie groups, and show that the Hamiltonian framework grants us the insight that the existence of ...
متن کاملDynamical vs. variational symmetries: understanding Noether’s first theorem
It is argued that awareness of the distinction between dynamical and variational symmetries is crucial to understanding the significance of Noether’s 1918 work. Special attention is paid, by way of a number of striking examples, to Noether’s first theorem which establishes a correlation between dynamical symmetries and conservation principles.
متن کاملA Proper Extension of Noether’s Symmetry Theorem for Nonsmooth Extremals of the Calculus of Variations
For nonsmooth Euler-Lagrange extremals, Noether’s conservation laws cease to be valid. We show that Emmy Noether’s theorem of the calculus of variations is still valid in the wider class of Lipschitz functions, as long as one restrict the Euler-Lagrange extremals to those which satisfy the DuBois-Reymond necessary condition. In the smooth case all EulerLagrange extremals are DuBois-Reymond extr...
