Motivated by the problem of longitudinal data assimilation, e.g., in the registration of a sequence of images, we develop the higher-order framework for Lagrangian and Hamiltonian reduction by symmetry in geometric mechanics. In particular, we obtain the reduced variational principles and the associated Poisson brackets. The special case of higher order Euler-Poincaré and Lie-Poisson reduction is also studied in detail.

Higher-order discrete variational problems with constraints

New variational integrators for higher-order Lagrangian mechanical system subjected to higher- order constraints are derived from the discretization of the variational principles, showing that their methods are automatically symplectic and, in consequence, with a very good energy behavior.

As is well-known, there is a variational principle for the Euler–Poincare equations on a Lie algebra g of a Lie group G obtained by reducing Hamilton’s principle on G by the action of G by, say,…

We study Euler–Poincare systems (i.e., the Lagrangian analogue of Lie–Poisson Hamiltonian systems) defined on semidirect product Lie algebras. We first give a derivation of the Euler–Poincare…

Lagrangian Reduction by Stages

This booklet studies the geometry of the reduction of Lagrangian systems with symmetry in a way that allows the reduction process to be repeated; that is, it develops a context for Lagrangian…

This note is to show how to use symplectic geometry to write equations of motion of a "classical particle" in the presence of a Yang-Mills field, for any gauge group, G, and any differentiable…

Given a principal G-bundle P over M and a Hamiltonian G-space Q, one may construct the reduced symplectic manifold (T*P x Q)0. When a connection on P is chosen, this manifold becomes a bundle over…
