- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- Routh reduction, Lagrange variational problem, Poincaré-Cartan form, diffiety, standard basis, controllability, and variation
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- The Routh reduction of cyclic variables in the Lagrange function and the Jacobi-Maupertuis principle of constant energy systems are generalized. The article deals with one-dimensional variational integral subject to differential constraints, the Lagrange variational problem, that admits the Lie group of symmetries. Reduction to the orbit space is investigated in the absolute sense relieved of all accidental structures. In particular, the widest possible coordinate-free approach to the underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations, Poincaré-Cartan forms, variations and extremals is involved for the preparation of the main task. The self-contained exposition differs from the common actual theories and rests only on the most fundamental tools of classical mathematical analysis, however, they are applied in infinite-dimensional spaces. The article may be of a certain interest for nonspecialists since all concepts of the calculus of variations undergo a deep reconstruction.

3. The symmetry reduction of variational integrals, complement
- Creator:
- Chrastinová, Veronika and Tryhuk, Václav
- Format:
- bez média and svazek
- Type:
- model:article and TEXT
- Subject:
- Lagrange variational problem, Poincaré-Cartan form, and symmetry reduction
- Language:
- English
- Description:
- Some open problems appearing in the primary article on the symmetry reduction are solved. A new and quite simple coordinate-free definition of Poincaré-Cartan forms and the substance of divergence symmetries (quasisymmetries) are clarified. The unbeliavable uniqueness and therefore the global existence of Poincaré-Cartan forms without any uncertain multipliers for the Lagrange variational problems are worth extra mentioning.
