Partial Stabilization of Input-Output Contact Systems on a Legendre Submanifold
2017
This technical note addresses the structure preserving stabilization by output feedback of conservative input-output contact systems, a class of input-output Hamiltonian systems defined on contact manifolds. In the first instance, achievable contact forms in closed-loop and the associated Legendre submanifolds are analysed. In the second instance the stability properties of a hyperbolic equilibrium point of a strict contact vector field are analysed and it is shown that the stable and unstable manifolds are Legendre submanifolds. In the third instance the consequences for the design of stable structure preserving output feedback are derived: in closed-loop one may achieve stability only rel…
A generalization of Françoise's algorithm for calculating higher order Melnikov functions
2002
Abstract In [J. Differential Equations 146 (2) (1998) 320–335], Francoise gives an algorithm for calculating the first nonvanishing Melnikov function Ml of a small polynomial perturbation of a Hamiltonian vector field and shows that Ml is given by an Abelian integral. This is done under the condition that vanishing of an Abelian integral of any polynomial form ω on the family of cycles implies that the form is algebraically relatively exact. We study here a simple example where Francoise's condition is not verified. We generalize Francoise's algorithm to this case and we show that Ml belongs to the C [ log t,t,1/t] module above the Abelian integrals. We also establish the linear differentia…
New Families of Symplectic Runge-Kutta-Nyström Integration Methods
2001
We present new 6-th and 8-th order explicit symplectic Runge-Kutta-Nystrom methods for Hamiltonian systems which are more efficient than other previously known algorithms. The methods use the processing technique and non-trivial flows associated with different elements of the Lie algebra involved in the problem. Both the processor and the kernel are compositions of explicitly computable maps.
Multiple periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential
2010
Under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinear term, the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems is established. Moreover, the existence of two non-trivial periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential is obtained, and the existence of three periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with coercive potential is pointed out. The approach is based on critical point theorems. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Perturbations of symmetric elliptic Hamiltonians of degree four
2006
AbstractIn this paper four-parameter unfoldings Xλ of symmetric elliptic Hamiltonians of degree four are studied. We prove that in a compact region of the period annulus of X0 the displacement function of Xλ is sign equivalent to its principal part, which is given by a family induced by a Chebychev system; and we describe the bifurcation diagram of Xλ in a full neighborhood of the origin in the parameter space, where at most two limit cycles can exist for the corresponding systems.
A Multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite asymptotically linear second order systems
2010
We prove a multiplicity result for a class of strongly indefinite nonlinear second order asymptotically linear systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The key idea for the proof is to bring together the classical shooting method and the Maslov index of the linear Hamiltonian systems associated to the asymptotic limits of the given nonlinearity.
Tangential Hilbert problem for perturbations of hyperelliptic Hamiltonian systems
1999
The tangential Hilbert 16th problem is to place an upper bound for the number of isolated ovals of algebraic level curves { H ( x , y ) = const } \{H(x,y)=\operatorname {const}\} over which the integral of a polynomial 1-form P ( x , y ) d x + Q ( x , y ) d y P(x,y)\,dx+Q(x,y)\,dy (the Abelian integral) may vanish, the answer to be given in terms of the degrees n = deg H n=\deg H and d = max ( deg P , deg Q ) d=\max (\deg P,\deg Q) . We describe an algorithm producing this upper bound in the form of a primitive recursive (in fact, elementary) function of n n and d d for the particular case of hyperelliptic polynomials H ( x , y ) = y 2 + U ( x ) H(x,y)=y^2+U(x) under the additional as…
Three periodic solutions for perturbed second order Hamiltonian systems
2009
AbstractIn this paper we study the existence of three distinct solutions for the following problem−u¨+A(t)u=∇F(t,u)+λ∇G(t,u)a.e. in [0,T],u(T)−u(0)=u˙(T)−u˙(0)=0, where λ∈R, T is a real positive number, A:[0,T]→RN×N is a continuous map from the interval [0,T] to the set of N-order symmetric matrices. We propose sufficient conditions only on the potential F. More precisely, we assume that G satisfies only a usual growth condition which allows us to use a variational approach.
Boundary controlled irreversible port-Hamiltonian systems
2021
Abstract Boundary controlled irreversible port-Hamiltonian systems (BC-IPHS) defined on a 1-dimensional spatial domain are defined by extending the formulation of reversible BC-PHS to irreversible thermodynamic systems controlled at the boundaries of their spatial domain. The structure of BC-IPHS has clear physical interpretation, characterizing the coupling between energy storing and energy dissipating elements. By extending the definition of boundary port variables of BC-PHS to deal with the irreversible energy dissipation, a set of boundary port variables are defined such that BC-IPHS are passive with respect to a given set of conjugated inputs and outputs. As for finite dimensional IPHS…
Existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions for second order Hamiltonian systems depending on a parameter
2013
The existence of at least one nontrivial periodic solution for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems depending on a parameter is obtained, under an algebraic condition on the nonlinearity G and without requiring any asymptotic behavior neither at zero nor at infinity. The existence is still deduced in the particular case when G is subquadratic at zero. Finally, two multiplicity results are proved if G, in addition, is required to fulfill some different Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz type superquadratic conditions at infinity. The approach is fully variational. © Heldermann Verlag.
