Canonical transformations using the idea of quantum generating functions are applied to construct a quantum Hamilton-Jacobi theory, based on the analogy with the classical case. An operator and a c-number form of the time-dependent quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation are derived and used to find dynamical solutions of quantum problems. The phase-space picture of quantum mechanics is discussed in connection with the present theory.PACS Nos.: 03.65-w, 03.65Ca, 03.65Ge

AbstractIf $U:[0,+\infty [\times M$ U : [ 0 , + ∞ [ × M is a uniformly continuous viscosity solution of the evolution Hamilton-Jacobi equation $$ \partial _{t}U+ H(x,\partial _{x}U)=0, $$ ∂ t U + H ( x , ∂ x U ) = 0 , where $M$ M is a not necessarily compact manifold, and $H$ H is a Tonelli Hamiltonian, we prove the set $\Sigma (U)$ Σ ( U ) , of points in $]0,+\infty [\times M$ ] 0 , + ∞ [ × M where $U$ U is not differentiable, is locally contractible. Moreover, we study the homotopy type of $\Sigma (U)$ Σ ( U ) . We also give an application to the singularities of the distance function to a closed subset of a complete Riemannian manifold.

In this work, we apply the geometric Hamilton-Jacobi theory to obtain solution of Hamiltonian systems in classical mechanics that are either compatible with two structures: the first structure plays a central role in the theory of time- dependent Hamiltonians, whilst the second is used to treat classical Hamiltonians including dissipation terms. It is proved that the generalization of problems from the calculus of variation methods in the nonstationary case can be obtained naturally in Hamilton-Jacobi formalism.

A methodology for estimating the region of attraction for autonomous nonlinear systems is developed. The methodology is based on a proof that the region of attraction can be estimated accurately by the zero sublevel set of an implicit function which is the viscosity solution of a time-dependent Hamilton–Jacobi equation. The methodology starts with a given initial domain and yields a sequence of region of attraction estimates by tracking the evolution of the implicit function. The resulting sequence is contained in and converges to the exact region of attraction. While alternative iterative methods for estimating the region of attraction have been proposed, the methodology proposed in this paper can compute the region of attraction to achieve any desired accuracy in a dimensionally independent and efficient way. An implementation of the proposed methodology has been developed in the Matlab environment. The correctness and efficiency of the methodology are verified through a few examples.

We construct the classical mechanics associated with a conformally flat Riemannian metric on a compact, n-dimensional manifold without boundary. The corresponding gradient Ricci flow equation turns out to equal the time-dependent Hamilton–Jacobi equation of the mechanics so defined.

We consider a class of optimal control problems in which the cost to minimize comprises both a final cost and an integral term, and the data can be discontinuous with respect to the time variable in the following sense: they are continuous w.r.t. t on a set of full measure and have everywhere left and right limits. For this class of Bolza problems, employing techniques coming from viability theory, we give characterizations of the value function as the unique generalized solution to the corresponding Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the class of lower semicontinuous functions: if the final cost term is extended valued, the generalized solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation involves the concepts of lower Dini derivative and the proximal normal vectors; if the final cost term is a locally bounded lower semicontinuous function, then we can show that this has an equivalent characterization in a viscosity sense.

The immobility of the center of mass in spaces of constant curvature is postulated based on its definition obtained in [1]. The system of two particles which interact through a potential depending only on the distance between particles on a three-dimensional sphere is considered. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is formulated and its solutions and trajectory equations are found. It was established that the reduced mass of the system depends on the relative distance.
