Course objectives
The goal of the lectures is to introduce the students to the more advanced aspects of calculus of variations.
Syllabus
  • - Regular variational problems in mechanics (the regularity condition, the Legendre transformation, the canonical Hamilton equations).
    - Poisson and symplectic structures. Hamiltonian systems and their integrals. Integrability and the Liouville theorem. Reduction of Hamiltonian systems and the moment map. Separation of variables in Hamiltonian systems and the Hamilton-Jacobi theory.
    - Bihamiltonian systems and their properties.
    - Poisson and symplectic structures on the evolutionary system of partial differential equations and their properties. Bihamiltonian systems of PDEs and their integrability. Recursion operators.
