Families of Relative Equilibria in Hamiltonian Systems with Dissipation
In this note the influence of dissipation on families of relative equilibria in Hamiltonian systems will be considered. Relative equilibria can be described as critical points of an appropriate functional. This characterisation can be used to give sufficient conditions such that in finite dimensional systems with dissipation the extremal families of relative equilibria are stable under dissipat...
متن کاملUnstable manifolds of relative equilibria in Hamiltonian systems with dissipation∗
This paper studies the destabilizing effects of dissipation on families of relative equilibria in Hamiltonian systems which are non-extremal constraint critical points in the energy-Casimir or the energy-momentum methods. The dissipation is allowed to destroy the conservation law associated with the symmetry group or Casimirs, as long as the family of relative equilibria stays on an invariant m...
متن کاملDynamics of Perturbed Relative Equilibria of Point Vortices on the Sphere or Plane
The system of point vortices on the sphere is a Hamiltonian system with symmetry SO(3), and there are stable relative equilibria of four point vortices, where three identical point vortices form an equilateral triangle circling a central vortex. These relative equilibria have zero (nongeneric) momentum and form a family that extends to arbitrarily small diameters. Using the energy-momentum meth...
متن کاملRelative Equilibria of Molecules
We describe a method for finding the families of relative equilibria of molecules which bifurcate from an equilibrium point as the angular momentum is increased from 0. Relative equilibria are steady rotations about a stationary axis during which the shape of the molecule remains constant. We show that the bifurcating families correspond bijectively to the critical points of a function h on the...
متن کاملDynamics near relative equilibria: Nongeneric momenta at a 1:1 group-reduced resonance
An interesting situation occurs when the linearized dynamics of the shape of a formally stable Hamiltonian relative equilibrium at nongeneric momentum 1:1 resonates with a frequency of the relative equilibrium’s generator. In this case some of the shape variables couple to the group variables to first order in the momentum perturbation, and the first order perturbation theory implies that the r...
