چکیده
V sequence fxkg. Similar result is also true for quasiNewton methods with trust region (see [16]). Another type of special quasi-Newton methods is that the quasi-Newton matrices are sparse. It is quite often that large-scale problems have separable structure, which leads to special structure of the Hessian matrices. In such cases we can require the quasiNewton matrices to have similar structures.

Abstract. We introduce generalized Galerkin variational integrators, which are a natural generalization of discrete variational mechanics, whereby the discrete action, as opposed to the discrete Lagrangian, is the fundamental object. This is achieved by approximating the action integral with appropriate choices of a finite-dimensional function space that approximate sections of the configuratio...
متن کاملSpectral-collocation variational integrators
Spectral methods are a popular choice for constructing numerical approximations for smooth problems, as they can achieve geometric rates of convergence and have a relatively small memory footprint. In this paper, we introduce a general framework to convert a spectral-collocation method into a shootingbased variational integrator for Hamiltonian systems. We also compare the proposed spectral-col...

متن کاملLagrangian mechanics and variational integrators on two-spheres
Euler–Lagrange equations and variational integrators are developed for Lagrangian mechanical systems evolving on a product of two-spheres. The geometric structure of a product of two-spheres is carefully considered in order to obtain global equations of motion. Both continuous equations of motion and variational integrators completely avoid the singularities and complexities introduced by local...
متن کاملError analysis of variational integrators of unconstrained Lagrangian systems
Due to a singularity or degeneracy at zero time-step, existence and uniqueness, and accuracy, of variational integrators, cannot be established by straightforward use of the implicit function theorem. We show existence and uniqueness for variational integrators by blowing up the variational principle. The blow-up implies an accuracy one less than is observed in simulations, a deficit that is re...
متن کاملVariational Integrators for Underactuated Mechanical Control Systems with Symmetries
Optimal control problems for underactuated mechanical systems can be seen as a higher-order variational problem subject to higher-order constraints (that is, when the Lagrangian function and the constraints depend on higher-order derivatives such as the acceleration, jerk or jounces). In this paper we discuss the variational formalism for the class of underactuated mechanical control systems wh...
