This paper develops the theory of multisymplectic variational integrators for nonsmooth continuum mechanics with constraints. Typical problems are the impact of an elastic body on a rigid plate or the collision of two elastic bodies. The integrators are ob ...
We study the homogenization problem for the system of equations of dynamics of a mixture of liquid crystals with random structure. We consider a simplified form of the Ericksen-Leslie equations for an incompressible medium with inhomogeneous density with r ...
A classical theorem of Frankel for compact Kahler manifolds states that a Kahler S-1-action is Hamiltonian if and only if it has fixed points. We prove a metatheorem which says that when the Hodge theory holds on non-compact manifolds, Frankel's theorem st ...
A natural extension of the free rigid body dynamics to the unitary group U (n) is considered. The dynamics is described by the Euler equation on the Lie algebra u(n), which has a bi-Hamiltonian structure, and it can be reduced onto the adjoint orbits, as i ...
In this paper we study the two dimensional Ericksen-Leslie equations for the nematodynamics of liquid crystals if the moment of inertia of the molecules does not vanish. We prove short time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the initial value ...
In this paper, we study the full three-dimensional Ericksen-Leslie system of equations for the nematodynamics of liquid crystals. We announce the short-time existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for the initial value problem in the periodic case and ...
Bi-Jacobi fields are generalized Jacobi fields, and are used to efficiently compute approximations to Riemannian cubic splines in a Riemannian manifold M. Calculating bi-Jacobi fields is straightforward when M is a symmetric space such as bi-invariant SO(3 ...
We consider a general approach for the process of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetries in chiral gauge models. This approach is used to show the complete integrability of several one dimensional texture equations arising in liquid Helium phas ...
The goal of this paper is to derive a structure preserving integrator for geometrically exact beam dynamics, by using a Lie group variational integrator. Both spatial and temporal discretization are implemented in a geometry preserving manner. The resultin ...
We construct families of integrable systems that interpolate between -dimensional harmonic oscillators and Neumann systems. This is achieved by studying a family of integrable systems generated by the Casimir functions of the Lie algebra of real skew-symme ...
