Set Up

The topological pressure is defined for subadditive sequence of potentials in bundle random dynamical systems. A variational principle for the topological pressure is set up in a very weak condition. The result may have some applications in the study of multifractal analysis for random version of nonconformal dynamical systems.

Kinetic And Potential Energies

Dynamical systems follow trajectories for which the mechanical action integrated along the trajectory is an extremum. The action is defined as the time average of the difference between kinetic and potential energies, which is also the time average of the Lagrangian. Once a Lagrangian has been defined for a system, the Euler equations of variational calculus lead to the Euler–Lagrange equations of dynamics. This chapter explores applications of Lagrangians and the use of Lagrange’s undetermined multipliers. Conservation laws, central forces, and the virial theorem are developed and explained.

Second Order Equations

We determine the approximate Noether point symmetries of the variational principle characterizing second-order equations of motion of a particle in a (finite-dimensional) Riemannian manifold. In particular, the Lagrangian comprises of kinetic energy and a potential [Formula: see text], perturbed to [Formula: see text]. We establish a convenient system of approximate geometric conditions that suffices for the computation of approximate Noether symmetry vectors and moreover, simplifies the problem of the effect of higher orders of the perturbation. The general results are applied to several practical problems of interest and we find extra Noether symmetries at [Formula: see text].

Measure Preserving Transformations

A central role in the variational principle of the measure preserving transformations is played by the topological pressure. We introduce subadditive pre-image topological pressure and pre-image measure-theoretic entropy properly for the random bundle transformations on a class of measurable subsets. On the basis of these notions, we are able to complete the subadditive pre-image variational principle under relatively weak conditions for the bundle random dynamical systems.

AbstractIn this article, we investigate a (3+1)-dimensional Schamel–Zakharov–Kuznetsov–Burgers (SZKB) equation, which describes the nonlinear plasma-dust ion acoustic waves (DIAWs) in a magnetised dusty plasma. With the aid of the Kudryashov method and symbolic computation, a set of new exact solutions for the SZKB equation are derived. By introducing two special functions, a variational principle of the SZKB equation is obtained. Conservation laws of the SZKB equation are obtained by two different approaches: Lie point symmetry and the multiplier method. Thus, the conservation laws here can be useful in enhancing the understanding of nonlinear propagation of small amplitude electrostatic structures in the dense, dissipative DIAWs’ magnetoplasmas. The properties of the shock wave solutions structures are analysed numerically with the system parameters. In addition, the electric field of this solution is investigated. Finally, we will study the physical meanings of solutions.
