In a series of papers, Chang et al. proved and experimentally demonstrated a phenomenon in underactuated mechanical systems, that they termed “damping-induced self-recovery.” This paper further investigates a few features observed in these demonstrated experiments and provides additional theoretical interpretation for the same. In particular, we present a model for the infinite-dimensional fluid–stool–wheel system, that approximates its dynamics to that of the better understood finite dimensional case, and comment on the effect of the intervening fluid on the large amplitude oscillations observed in the bicycle wheel–stool experiment.

We give a new proof and new interpretation of Donoghue's interpolation theorem; for an intermediate Hilbert spaceH∗to be exact interpolation with respect to a regular Hilbert coupleH¯it is necessary and sufficient that the norm inH∗be representable in the form‖f‖∗=(∫[0,∞](1+t−1)K2(t,f;H¯)2dρ(t))1/2with some positive Radon measureρon the compactified half-line[0,∞]. The result was re-proved in [1] in the finite-dimensional case. The purpose of this note is to extend the proof given in [1] to cover the infinite-dimensional case. Moreover, the presentation of the aforementioned proof in [1] was slightly flawed, because we forgot to include a reference to ‘Donoghue's Lemma’, which is implicitly used in the proof. Hence we take this opportunity to correct that flaw.

We prove that any countable family of Lagrangian subspaces of a symplectic Hilbert space admits a common complementary Lagrangian. The proof of this puzzling result, which is not totally elementary also in the finite dimensional case, is obtained as an application of the spectral theorem for unbounded self-adjoint operators.

A notion of entangled Markov chain was introduced by Accardi and Fidaleo in the context of quantum random walk. They proved that, in the finite-dimensional case, the corresponding states have vanishing entropy density, but they did not prove that they are entangled. In this note this entropy result is extended to the infinite-dimensional case under the assumption of finite speed of hopping. Then the entanglement problem is discussed for spin-1/2, entangled Markov chains generated by a binary symmetric channel with hopping probability 1-q. The von Neumann entropy of these states, restricted on a sublattice is explicitly calculated and shown to be independent of the size of the sublattice. This is a new, purely quantum, phenomenon. Finally the entanglement property between the sublattices [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is investigated using the PPT criterium. It turns out that, for q≠ 0, 1, ½ the states are non-separable, thus truly entangled, while for q = 0, 1, ½, they are separable.

AbstractIn this paper we give a description of separating or disjointness preserving linear bijections on spaces of vector-valued absolutely continuous functions defined on compact subsets of the real line. We obtain that they are continuous and biseparating in the finite-dimensional case. The infinite-dimensional case is also studied.

In [5] we defined the concepts of Frobenius and symmetric algebra for algebras of infinite vector space dimension over a field. It was shown there that with the introduction of a topology and the judicious use of the terms continuous and closed, many of the classical theorems of Nakayama [7, 8] on Frobenius and symmetric algebras could be generalized to the infinite dimensional case. In this paper we shall be concerned with showing certain algebras are (or are not) Frobenius or symmetric. In Section 3, we shall see that an algebra can be symmetric or Frobenius in “many ways”. This is a problem which did not arise in the finite dimensional case.

The purpose of this paper is to answer the question: which self-adjoint operators on a separable Hilbert space are the real parts of quasi-nilpotent operators? In the finite-dimensional case the answer is: self-adjoint operators with trace zero. In the infinite dimensional case, we show that a self-adjoint operator is the real part of a quasi-nilpotent operator if and only if the convex hull of its essential spectrum contains zero. We begin by considering the finite dimensional case.

Abstract It is well known that not every convex set-valued function admits an affine selection. One could ask whether there exists at least one local affine selection. The answer is positive in the finite-dimensional case. The main part of the note comprises two examples of the non-existence of local affine selections of convex set-valued functions defined on certain infinite-dimensional Banach spaces.

In this paper, we survey our recent results on the variational formulation of nonequilibrium thermodynamics for the finite-dimensional case of discrete systems, as well as for the infinite-dimensional case of continuum systems. Starting with the fundamental variational principle of classical mechanics, namely, Hamilton’s principle, we show, with the help of thermodynamic systems with gradually increasing complexity, how to systematically extend it to include irreversible processes. In the finite dimensional cases, we treat systems experiencing the irreversible processes of mechanical friction, heat, and mass transfer in both the adiabatically closed cases and open cases. On the continuum side, we illustrate our theory using the example of multicomponent Navier–Stokes–Fourier systems.

AbstractLet G be one of the ind-groups GL(∞), O(∞), Sp(∞), and let P1, ..., Pℓ be an arbitrary set of ℓ splitting parabolic subgroups of G. We determine all such sets with the property that G acts with finitely many orbits on the ind-variety X1 × × Xℓ where Xi = G/Pi. In the case of a finite-dimensional classical linear algebraic group G, the analogous problem has been solved in a sequence of papers of Littelmann, Magyar–Weyman–Zelevinsky and Matsuki. An essential difference from the finite-dimensional case is that already for ℓ = 2, the condition that G acts on X1 × X2 with finitely many orbits is a rather restrictive condition on the pair P1, P2. We describe this condition explicitly. Using the description we tackle the most interesting case where ℓ = 3, and present the answer in the form of a table. For ℓ ≥ 4 there always are infinitely many G-orbits on X1 × × Xℓ.

Recently, Kupershmidt [38] presented a Lie algebraic derivation of a new sixth-order wave equation, which was proposed by Karasu-Kalkani et al. [31]. In this paper, we demonstrate that Kupershmidt's method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) formulation. In a finite-dimensional case, we modify Kupershmidt's deformation of the Euler top equation to obtain the standard EPS construction on SO(3). We extend Kupershmidt's infinite-dimensional construction to construct a nonholonomic deformation of a wide class of coupled KdV equations, where all these equations follow from the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov flows of the right invariant L2 metric on the semidirect product group [Formula: see text], where Diff (S1) is the group of orientation preserving diffeomorphisms on a circle. We generalize our construction to the two-component Camassa–Holm equation. We also give a derivation of a nonholonomic deformation of the N = 1 supersymmetric KdV equation, dubbed as sKdV6 equation and this method can be interpreted as an infinite-dimensional supersymmetric analogue of the Euler–Poincaré–Suslov (EPS) method.
