In this paper we investigate Donder-Weyl (DW) Hamilton-Jacobi equations and establish the connection between DW Hamilton-Jacobi equations and multi-symplectic Hamiltonian systems. Based on the study of DW Hamilton-Jacobi equations, we present the generating functions for multi-symplectic partitioned Runge-Kutta (PRK) methods.

A Hamilton cycle is a cycle containing every vertex of a graph. A graph is called Hamiltonian if it contains a Hamilton cycle. The Hamilton cycle problem is to find the sufficient and necessary condition that a graph is Hamiltonian. In this paper, we give out some new kind of definitions of the subgraphs and determine the Hamiltoncity of edges according to the existence of the subgraphs in a gr...

We propose a Hamilton-Jacobi equation approach for computing time-optimal trajectories of a vehicle which travels under certain curvature constraints. We derive a class of Hamilton-Jacobi equations which models such motions; it unifies two well-known vehicular models, the Dubins’ and Reeds-Shepp’s cars, and gives further generalizations. We show that the value function of the control problem so...

Let n ≥ 2 be an integer. The complete graph Kn with a 1-factor F removed has a decomposition into Hamilton cycles if and only if n is even. We show that Kn − F has a decomposition into Hamilton cycles which are symmetric with respect to the 1-factor F if and only if n ≡ 2, 4 mod 8. We also show that the complete bipartite graph Kn,n has a symmetric Hamilton cycle decomposition if and only if n ...

We describe an algorithm which enumerates all Hamilton cycles of a given 3regular n-vertex graph in time O(1.276n), improving on Eppstein’s previous bound. The resulting new upper bound of O(1.276n) for the maximum number of Hamilton cycles in 3-regular n-vertex graphs gets close to the best known lower bound of Ω(1.259n). Our method differs from Eppstein’s in that he considers in each step a n...

We discuss an extension of the Hamilton–Jacobi theory to nonholonomic mechanics with a particular interest in its application to exactly integrating the equations of motion. We give an intrinsic proof of a nonholonomic analogue of the Hamilton–Jacobi theorem. Our intrinsic proof clarifies the difference from the conventional Hamilton–Jacobi theory for unconstrained systems. The proof also helps...
