چکیده
Hamiltonian mechanics is given an invariant formulation in terms of Geometric Calculus, a general differential and integral calculus with the structure of Clifford algebra. Advantages over formulations in terms of differential forms are explained.

Geometric View of Hamiltonian Perturbation Theory
The variational formulation for Lie-transform Hamiltonian perturbation theory is presented in terms of an action functional defined on a two-dimensional parameter space. A fundamental equation in Hamiltonian perturbation theory is shown to result from the freedom of choice of the integration path for the action functional.
متن کاملDiscrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics on Lie Groupoids
The purpose of this paper is to describe geometrically discrete Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics on Lie groupoids. From a variational principle we derive the discrete Euler-Lagrange equations and we introduce a symplectic 2-section, which is preserved by the Lagrange evolution operator. In terms of the discrete Legendre transformations we define the Hamiltonian evolution operator which is a...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Fiber-Reinforced Lamina Micro-Electro-Mechanical Switches with Nonlinear Vibration Using a Higher Order Hamiltonian Approach
In this paper, the nonlinear free vibration of fiber-reinforced lamina micro-switches is investigated, and a sensitivity analysis (SA) is given. The switches are modeled as solid rectangular beams consisting of an isotropic matrix with transversely and longitudinally isotropic reinforcements, incorporating a higher order Hamiltonian approach. An SA of the proposed micro-switch is presented by c...
متن کاملEnergy Optimal Interpolation in Quantum Evolution
We introduce the concept of interpolation in quantum evolution and present a general framework to find the energy optimal Hamiltonian for a quantum system evolving among a given set of middle states using variational and geometric methods. The quantum brachistochrone problem is proved as a special case.
متن کاملGeometric Phases, Coherent States and Resonant Hamiltonians
We study characteristic aspects of the geometric phase which is associated with the generalized coherent states. This is determined by special orbits in the parameter space defining the coherent state, which is obtained as a solution of the variational equation governed by a simple model Hamiltonian called the ”resonant Hamiltonian”. Three typical coherent states are considered: SU(2), SU(1,1) ...
