On a class of three dimensional quadratic Hamiltonian systems
The purpose of this article is to compute the normal form of a class of
general quadratic Hamiltonian systems that generalizes naturally Euler's
equations from the free rigid body dynamics.Comment: 6 page
On a unified formulation of completely integrable systems
The purpose of this article is to show that a differential
system on which admits a set of independent
conservation laws defined on an open subset , is
essentially equivalent on an open and dense subset of ,
with the linear differential system $u^\prime_1=u_1, \ u^\prime_2=u_2,..., \
u^\prime_n=u_n$. The main results are illustrated in the case of two concrete
dynamical systems, namely the three dimensional Lotka-Volterra system, and
respectively the Euler equations from the free rigid body dynamics.Comment: 11 page
The free rigid body dynamics: generalized versus classic
In this paper we analyze the normal forms of a general quadratic Hamiltonian
system defined on the dual of the Lie algebra of real -
skew - symmetric matrices, where is an arbitrary real symmetric
matrix. A consequence of the main results is that any first-order autonomous
three-dimensional differential equation possessing two independent quadratic
constants of motion which admits a positive/negative definite linear
combination, is affinely equivalent to the classical "relaxed" free rigid body
dynamics with linear controls.Comment: 12 page
Complete integrability versus symmetry
The purpose of this article is to show that on an open and dense set,
complete integrability implies the existence of symmetry
On the symmetry breaking phenomenon
We investigate the problem of symmetry breaking in the framework of dynamical
systems with symmetry on a smooth manifold. Two cases will be analyzed: general
and Hamiltonian dynamical systems. We give sufficient conditions for symmetry
breaking in both cases
