Geometrical dissipation for dynamical systems

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: On a Riemannian manifold (M,g) we consider the k+1 functions F1,...,Fk,G and construct the vector fields that conserve F1,...,Fk and dissipate G with a prescribed rate. We study the geometry of these vector fields and prove that they are of gradient type on regular leaves corresponding to F1,...,Fk. By using these constructions we show that the cubic Morrison dissipation and the Landau-Lifschitz equation can be formulated in a unitary form.


Assume that \(k+1\) functions \(F_1,F_2,\ldots,F_k,G\) are given on a Riemannian manifold. Then, vector fields are constructed which preserve \(F_1,\ldots,F_k\) and which dissipate the function \(G\) with a prescribed rate. It is shown that all these vector fields are generated by the ``standard control vector field. For the Euclidean case, this construction is contained in [\textit{B. N. Shashikanth}, J. Nonlinear Sci. 20, No. 1, 81--103 (2010; Zbl 1433.37079)]. Then, the geometry of the standard control vector field is studied. It is shown that the Landau-Lifschitz equation and the cubic dissipation of the rigid body introduced by Morrisson can be described as a system perturbed by the standard control vector field.
