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].

This paper aims to perform a complete Noether symmetry analysis of a generalized hyperbolic Lane–Emden system. Several constraints for which Noether symmetries exist are derived. In addition, we construct conservation laws associated with the admitted Noether symmetries. Thereafter, we briefly discuss the physical meaning of the derived conserved vectors.

The general form of Noether symmetries admitted by Lagrangians corresponding to a diagonal metric are determined. We apply this general result in order to classify different metric functions for the determination of Noether generators for the equations of motion. For the two broad cases considered, we identify symmetry algebras up to dimension thirteen.

The local Lagrange–Poincaré equations (the reduced Euler–Lagrange equations) for the mechanical system describing the motion of a scalar particle on a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold with a given free isometric smooth action of a compact semi-simple Lie group are obtained. The equations are written in terms of dependent coordinates which are used to represent the local dynamic given on the orbit space of the principal fiber bundle. The derivation of the equations is performed with the help of the variational principle developed by Poincaré for mechanical systems with symmetry.

In the paper it is shown that the two-dimensional dynamical system of equations is Darboux integrable if and only if its characteristic Lie algebra is finite-dimensional. The class of systems having a full set of fist and second order integrals is described.

We develop a method to find solutions of the equations of motion in Hamiltonian Dynamical Systems. We apply this method to the system [Formula: see text] We study the case a → 0 and we find that in this case the system has an infinite number of period dubling bifurcations.

AbstractThis paper presents mathematical models of supersonic and intersonic crack propagation exhibiting Mach type of shock wave patterns that closely resemble the growing body of experimental and computational evidence reported in recent years. The models are developed in the form of weak discontinuous solutions of the equations of motion for isotropic linear elasticity in two dimensions. Instead of the classical second order elastodynamics equations in terms of the displacement field, equivalent first order equations in terms of the evolution of velocity and displacement gradient fields are used together with their associated jump conditions across solution discontinuities. The paper postulates supersonic and intersonic steady-state crack propagation solutions consisting of regions of constant deformation and velocity separated by pressure and shear shock waves converging at the crack tip and obtains the necessary requirements for their existence. It shows that such mathematical solutions exist for significant ranges of material properties both in plane stress and plane strain. Both mode I and mode II fracture configurations are considered. In line with the linear elasticity theory used, the solutions obtained satisfy exact energy conservation, which implies that strain energy in the unfractured material is converted in its entirety into kinetic energy as the crack propagates. This neglects dissipation phenomena both in the material and in the creation of the new crack surface. This leads to the conclusion that fast crack propagation beyond the classical limit of the Rayleigh wave speed is a phenomenon dominated by the transfer of strain energy into kinetic energy rather than by the transfer into surface energy, which is the basis of Griffiths theory.

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.

Studies of the use of oscillations for control purposes continue to reveal new practically important properties unique to the oscillatory open and closed loop control laws. The goal of this paper is to enlarge the available set of analytical tools for such studies by introducing a method of analysis of the qualitative changes in the behavior of dynamical systems caused by the zero mean parametric excitations. After summarizing and slightly refining a technique developed previously for the finite dimensional nonlinear systems, we consider an extension of this technique to a class of distributed parameter systems (DPS) governed by semilinear parabolic equations. The technique presented is illustrated by several examples.

In this paper, we have studied Noether symmetries of the general Bianchi type I spacetimes. The Lagrangian associated with the most general Bianchi type I metric is used to find the set of Noether symmetry equations. These equations are analyzed using an algorithm, developed in Maple, to get all possible Bianchi type I metrics admitting different Noether symmetries. The set of Noether symmetry equations is then solved for each metric to obtain the Noether symmetry algebras of dimensions 4, 5, 6 and 9.
