Geometric Discretization of Lagrangian Mechanics and Field Theories

This thesis presents a unified framework for geometric discretization of highly oscillatory mechanics and classical field theories, based on Lagrangian variational principles and discrete differential forms. For highly oscillatory problems in mechanics, we present a variational approach to two families of geometric numerical integrators: implicit-explicit (IMEX) and trigonometric methods. Next,...

Research Summary

My research has focused on developing the mathematical foundations of discrete geometry and mechanics to enable the systematic construction of geometric structure-preserving numerical schemes based on the approach of geometric mechanics, with a view towards obtaining more robust and accurate numerical implementations of feedback and optimal control laws arising from geometric control theory. Th...

Hamilton-Pontryagin variational integrators

In this paper we discuss the applications of the Hamilton-Pontryagin variational principle for designing time-adaptive variational integrators. First, we review the multisymplectic formalism of field theories. Next, we review the Hamilton-Pontryagin principle and show how it can be used to handle time reparametrizations in a very natural way. Finally, we derive a time-adaptive variational integ...

Abstract. We introduce generalized Galerkin variational integrators, which are a natural generalization of discrete variational mechanics, whereby the discrete action, as opposed to the discrete Lagrangian, is the fundamental object. This is achieved by approximating the action integral with appropriate choices of a finite-dimensional function space that approximate sections of the configuratio...
