In this paper two main topics are treated. In the first part we give a synthetic presentation of the geometry of rigid body motion in a projective geometrical framework. An important issue is the geometric approach to the identification of twists and wrenches in a Lie group approach and their relation to screws. In the second part we give a formulation of the dynamics of multibody systems in te...

In this paper we study the appearance of branches of relative periodic orbits in Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation processes in the presence of compact symmetry groups that do not generically exist in the dissipative framework. The theoretical study is illustrated with several examples.

We study reductions of the Hamiltonian flows restricted to their invariant submanifolds. As examples, we consider partial Lagrange-Routh reductions of the natural mechanical systems such as geodesic flows on compact Lie groups and n-dimensional variants of the classical Hess-Appel’rot case of a heavy rigid body motion about a fixed point.

In this series of eight papers we present the applications of methods from wavelet analysis to polynomial approximations for a number of accelerator physics problems. In this paper we consider invariant formulation of nonlinear (Lagrangian or Hamiltonian) dynamics on semidirect structure (relativity or dynamical groups) and corresponding invariant calculations via CWT.

Poisson plane and sphere — homogeneous spaces of Poisson groups E(2) and SU(2) (resp.) — have phase spaces (corresponding symplectic groupoids), in which a free Hamiltonian is naturally defined. We solve the equations of motion and point out some unexpected features: free motion on the plane is bounded (periodic) and free trajectories on the sphere are all circles except the big ones.

It is shown that distributed chaos, generated by Hamiltonian DNA dynamics with spontaneously broken time translational symmetry, imprints itself on the DNA sequence of Arabidopsis thaliana (a model plant for genetic sequencing and mapping) and of the NRXN1 and BRCA2 human genes (as an example). The base-stacking interactions in the DNA duplex and degenerate codon groups have been discussed in t...
