Book Synopsis Global Formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics on Manifolds by : Taeyoung Lee
Download or read book Global Formulations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Dynamics on Manifolds written by Taeyoung Lee. This book was released on 2017-08-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an accessible introduction to the variational formulation of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics, with a novel emphasis on global descriptions of the dynamics, which is a significant conceptual departure from more traditional approaches based on the use of local coordinates on the configuration manifold. In particular, we introduce a general methodology for obtaining globally valid equations of motion on configuration manifolds that are Lie groups, homogeneous spaces, and embedded manifolds, thereby avoiding the difficulties associated with coordinate singularities. The material is presented in an approachable fashion by considering concrete configuration manifolds of increasing complexity, which then motivates and naturally leads to the more general formulation that follows. Understanding of the material is enhanced by numerous in-depth examples throughout the book, culminating in non-trivial applications involving multi-body systems. This book is written for a general audience of mathematicians, engineers, and physicists with a basic knowledge of mechanics. Some basic background in differential geometry is helpful, but not essential, as the relevant concepts are introduced in the book, thereby making the material accessible to a broad audience, and suitable for either self-study or as the basis for a graduate course in applied mathematics, engineering, or physics.

Book Synopsis Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Flows on Center Manifolds by : Alexander Mielke
Download or read book Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Flows on Center Manifolds written by Alexander Mielke. This book was released on 2006-11-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of center manifold reduction is studied in this monograph in the context of (infinite-dimensional) Hamil- tonian and Lagrangian systems. The aim is to establish a "natural reduction method" for Lagrangian systems to their center manifolds. Nonautonomous problems are considered as well assystems invariant under the action of a Lie group ( including the case of relative equilibria). The theory is applied to elliptic variational problemson cylindrical domains. As a result, all bounded solutions bifurcating from a trivial state can be described by a reduced finite-dimensional variational problem of Lagrangian type. This provides a rigorous justification of rod theory from fully nonlinear three-dimensional elasticity. The book will be of interest to researchers working in classical mechanics, dynamical systems, elliptic variational problems, and continuum mechanics. It begins with the elements of Hamiltonian theory and center manifold reduction in order to make the methods accessible to non-specialists, from graduate student level.

Book Synopsis Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics by : James Curry
Download or read book Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics written by James Curry. This book was released on 2017-03-30. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics (HLD) are two interrelated regimes and sets of techniques that can be used to solve Classical Mechanics problems, like Newtonian Physics does, but HLD is much more powerful and flexible, making manageable the otherwise intractable. In addition, HLD provides intuitive insight and guides approximation techniques. Most importantly, HLD is a foundation for Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Field Theory, Elementary Particle Physics, and Solid State Physics. This book emphasizes geometric reasoning in both the text and exercises. Volume 1 is devoted to the necessary mathematics: Linear Algebra, Functional Analysis, Manifolds, and Lie Groups. Volume 2 is devoted to physics: Dynamical Systems, Newtonian Physics, Hamiltonian and Lagrangian Dynamics, and many applications. Volume 1 contains unusually concise, yet deep, treatments of Linear Algebra, Lie Groups and of Conic Sections, so that some may wish to use the book to pursue those goals alone. The book is intended to be useful for physics undergraduates in a first course in Analytical Mechanics, and for Graduate students in physics. Mathematics students will find here simple treatments of advanced mathematical topics, and see their practical application. Engineers will also find succor herein for solving difficult problems.

Book Synopsis Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Methods for Nonlinear Control 2000 by : N.E. Leonard
Download or read book Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Methods for Nonlinear Control 2000 written by N.E. Leonard. This book was released on 2000-10-26. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the IFAC Workshop on Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Methods for Nonlinear Control, held at Princeton University, USA in March 2000. The workshop featured presentations and in-depth discussions of recent theoretical and practical developments in Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approaches to nonlinear control. New technologies have created engineering problems where successful controller designs must account for nonlinear effects, yet existing theory for general nonlinear systems often proves insufficient. This workshop focused on recent research that gives modeling a central role and focuses on structure that can be exploited in controller design. The research presented covered a diverse set of application areas.
