چکیده
In the paper, we develop an idea of interconnection of Dirac structures and their associated LagrangeDirac dynamical systems. First, we briefly review the LagrangeDirac dynamical systems (namely, implicit Lagrangian systems) associated to induced Dirac structures. Second, we describe an idea of interconnection of Dirac structures; namely, we show how two distinct Lagrange-Dirac systems can be interconnected through a Dirac structure on the product of configuration spaces. Third, we also show the variational structure of the interconnected Lagrange-Dirac dynamical system in the context of the Hamilton-Pontryagin-d’Alembert principle. Finally, we demonstrate our theory by an example of mass-spring mechanical systems.

Variational Integrators for Interconnected Lagrange-Dirac Systems
Interconnected systems are an important class of mathematical models, as they allow for the construction of complex, hierarchical, multiphysics, and multiscale models by the interconnection of simpler subsystems. Lagrange–Dirac mechanical systems provide a broad category of mathematical models that are closed under interconnection, and in this paper, we develop a framework for the interconnecti...
متن کاملConstructing Equivalence-preserving Dirac Variational Integrators with Forces
The dynamical motion of mechanical systems possesses underlying geometric structures, and preserving these structures in numerical integration improves the qualitative accuracy and reduces the long-time error of the simulation. For a single mechanical system, structure preservation can be achieved by adopting the variational integrator construction. This construction has been generalized to mor...
متن کاملSome Observations on Dirac Measure-Preserving Transformations and their Results
Dirac measure is an important measure in many related branches to mathematics. The current paper characterizes measure-preserving transformations between two Dirac measure spaces or a Dirac measure space and a probability measure space. Also, it studies isomorphic Dirac measure spaces, equivalence Dirac measure algebras, and conjugate of Dirac measure spaces. The equivalence classes of a Dirac ...
متن کاملThe Hamilton-Pontryagin Principle and Multi-Dirac Structures for Classical Field Theories
We introduce a variational principle for field theories, referred to as the HamiltonPontryagin principle, and we show that the resulting field equations are the Euler-Lagrange equations in implicit form. Secondly, we introduce multi-Dirac structures as a graded analog of standard Dirac structures, and we show that the graph of a multisymplectic form determines a multi-Dirac structure. We then d...
متن کاملOn Interconnections of Infinite-dimensional Port-Hamiltonian Systems
Network modeling of complex physical systems leads to a class of nonlinear systems called port-Hamiltonian systems, which are defined with respect to a Dirac structure (a geometric structure which formalizes the power-conserving interconnection structure of the system). A power conserving interconnection of Dirac structures is again a Dirac structure. In this paper we study interconnection prop...
