Multi Hamilton-Jacobi quantization of O(3) nonlinear sigma model
The O(3) non-linear sigma model is investigated using multi Hamilton-Jacobi
formalism. The integrability conditions are investigated and the results are in
agreement with those obtained by Dirac's method. By choosing an adequate
extension of phase space we describe the transformed system by a set of three
Hamilton-Jacobi equations and calculate the corresponding action.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, to be published in Mod. Phys. Lett.
Fractional Curve Flows and Solitonic Hierarchies in Gravity and Geometric Mechanics
Methods from the geometry of nonholonomic manifolds and Lagrange-Finsler
spaces are applied in fractional calculus with Caputo derivatives and for
elaborating models of fractional gravity and fractional Lagrange mechanics. The
geometric data for such models are encoded into (fractional) bi-Hamiltonian
structures and associated solitonic hierarchies. The constructions yield
horizontal/vertical pairs of fractional vector sine-Gordon equations and
fractional vector mKdV equations when the hierarchies for corresponding curve
fractional flows are described in explicit forms by fractional wave maps and
analogs of Schrodinger maps.Comment: latex2e, 11pt, 21 pages; the variant accepted to J. Math. Phys.; new

Hamiltonian formulation of systems with linear velocities within Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives
The link between the treatments of constrained systems with fractional
derivatives by using both Hamiltonian and Lagrangian formulations is studied.
It is shown that both treatments for systems with linear velocities are
equivalent.Comment: 10 page
Fractional Hamilton formalism within Caputo's derivative
In this paper we develop a fractional Hamiltonian formulation for dynamic
systems defined in terms of fractional Caputo derivatives. Expressions for
fractional canonical momenta and fractional canonical Hamiltonian are given,
and a set of fractional Hamiltonian equations are obtained. Using an example,
it is shown that the canonical fractional Hamiltonian and the fractional
Euler-Lagrange formulations lead to the same set of equations.Comment: 8 page
Extraction of reliable information from time-domain pressure and flow signals measured by means of forced oscillation techniques
This paper aims to give a proof-of-concept for the possible application of the forced oscillation lung function test to assess the viscoelastic properties of the airways and tissue. In particular, a novel signal processing algorithm is employed on non-stationary, noisy, (relatively) short time series of respiratory pressure and flow signals. This novel technique is employed to filter the useful information from the signals acquired under two measurement conditions: pseudo-functional residual capacity (PFRC) and pseudo-total lung capacity (PTLC). The PFRC is the measurement performed at lowest lung volume with maximum deflation, and the PTLC is measurement performed at the maximum lung volume under maximum inflation. The results suggest that the proposed technique is able to extract information on the viscoelastic properties of the lung tissue at a macroscopic level. The conclusion of this preliminary study is that the proposed combination of signal processing method and lung function test is suited to be employed on a large database in order to deliver reference values and perform further statistical analysis
Hamilton - Jacobi treatment of front-form Schwinger model
The Hamilton-Jacobi formalism was applied to quantize the front-form
Schwinger model. The importance of the surface term is discussed in detail. The
BRST-anti-BRST symmetry was analyzed within Hamilton-Jacobi formalism.Comment: 11 pages, to be published in Int. Journ. Mod. Phys.
Fractional Hamiltonian analysis of higher order derivatives systems
The fractional Hamiltonian analysis of 1+1 dimensional field theory is
investigated and the fractional Ostrogradski's formulation is obtained. The
fractional path integral of both simple harmonic oscillator with an
acceleration-squares part and a damped oscillator are analyzed. The classical
results are obtained when fractional derivatives are replaced with the integer
order derivatives.Comment: 13 page
