Multicontact formulation for non-conservative field theories
Manuel de León, Jordi Gaset, Miguel Carlos Muñoz-Lecanda +2
A new geometric framework is developed to describe non-conservative classical field theories, which is based on multisymplectic and contact geometries. Assuming certain additional…
Time-dependent contact mechanics
Manuel de León, Jordi Gaset, Xavier Gràcia +2
Contact geometry allows to describe some thermodynamic and dissipative systems. In this paper we introduce a new geometric structure in order to describe time-dependent contact sys…
Infinitesimal time reparametrisation and its applications
José F. Cariñena, Eduardo Martínez, Miguel C. Muñoz-Lecanda
A geometric approach to Sundman infinitesimal time-reparametrisation is given and some of its applications are used to illustrate the general theory. Special emphasis is put on geo…
