Linear instability for periodic orbits of non-autonomous Lagrangian systems
• Mathematics

Inspired by the classical Poincaré criterion about the instability of orientation preserving minimizing closed geodesics on surfaces, we investigate the relation intertwining the instability and the

Abstract We study the action functional associated to a smooth Lagrangian function on the tangent bundle of a manifold, having quadratic growth in the velocities. We show that, although the action

Abstract.We study the properties of the asymptotic Maslov index of invariant measures for time-periodic Hamiltonian systems on the cotangent bundle of a compact manifold M. We show that if M has
Morse index and linear stability of relative equilibria in singular mechanical systems
We have focussed on the study of the linear stability of some particular periodic orbits (called relative equilibria) in planar singular mechanical systems with SO(2)-symmetry, and we have achieved
