We study the qualitative homogenization of second-order Hamilton–Jacobi equations in space-time stationary ergodic random environments. Assuming that the Hamiltonian is convex and superquadratic in the momentum variable (gradient), we establish a homogenization result and characterize the effective Hamiltonian for arbitrary (possibly degenerate) elliptic diffusion matrices. The result extends p...

We consider the sub-Riemannian length optimization problem on the group of motions of hyperbolic plane i.e. the special hyperbolic group SH(2). The system comprises of left invariant vector fields with 2 dimensional linear control input and energy cost functional. We prove the global controllability of control distribution and use Pontryagin Maximum Principle to obtain the extremal control inpu...

In [Féj04] Jacques Féjoz completed and gave the details of Michel Herman’s proof of Arnold’s 1963 theorem on the stability of planetary motions. This result provided the existence of maximal invariant tori for the planetary -body problem, with , in a neighborhood of Keplerian circular and coplanar movements, under the hypothesis that the masses of the planets are sufficiently small with respect...

We consider a coupled system of Hamiltonian partial differential equations introduced by Popowicz, which has the appearance of a two-field coupling between the Camassa-Holm and Degasperis-Procesi equations. The latter equations are both known to be integrable, and admit peaked soliton (peakon) solutions with discontinuous derivatives at the peaks. A combination of a reciprocal transformation wi...

Can elliptic islands contribute to sustained energy growth as parameters of a Hamiltonian system slowly vary with time? In this paper we show that a mushroom billiard with a periodically oscillating boundary accelerates the particle inside it exponentially fast. We provide an estimate for the rate of acceleration. Our numerical experiments corroborate the theory. We suggest that a similar mecha...

The contributions of Sophya Kowalewski to the integrability theory of the equations for the heavy top extend to a larger class of Hamiltonian systems on Lie groups; this paper explains these extensions, and along the way reveals further geometric significance of her work in the theory of elliptic curves. Specifically, in this paper we shall be concerned with the solutions of the following diffe...

in this paper, the maximal dissipative extensions of a symmetric singular 1d discrete hamiltonian operator with maximal deficiency indices (2,2) (in limit-circle cases at ±∞) and acting in the hilbert space ℓ_{ω}²(z;c²) (z:={0,±1,±2,...}) are considered. we consider two classes dissipative operators with separated boundary conditions both at -∞ and ∞. for each of these cases we establish a self...
