Proceedings of the International Conference on SPT 2007
Otranto, Italy 2 - 9 June 2007

edited by Giuseppe Gaeta (Università di Milano, Italy), Raffaele Vitolo (Università del Salento, Italy) & Sebastian Walcher (RWTH-Aachen, Germany)

Table of Contents (150k)
Foreword (101k)
Chapter 1: Homogeneous Bi-Lagrangian Manifolds and Invariant Monge-Ampere Equations (415k)

This proceedings volume is devoted to the interplay of symmetry and perturbation theory, as well as to cognate fields such as integrable systems, normal forms, n-body dynamics and choreographies, geometry and symmetry of differential equations, and finite and infinite dimensional dynamical systems. The papers collected here provide an up-to-date overview of the research in the field, and have many leading scientists in the field among their authors, including: D Alekseevsky, S Benenti, H Broer, A Degasperis, M E Fels, T Gramchev, H Hanssmann, J Krashil’shchik, B Kruglikov, D Krupka, O Krupkova, S Lombardo, P Morando, O Morozov, N N Nekhoroshev, F Oliveri, P J Olver, J A Sanders, M A Teixeira, S Terracini, F Verhulst, P Winternitz, B Zhilinskii.


Contents:

  • On Darboux Integrability (I M Anderson et al.)
  • Computing Curvature without Christoffel Symbols (S Benenti)
  • Natural Variational Principles (D Krupka)
  • Fuzzy Fractional Monodromy (N N Nekhoroshev)
  • Emergence of Slow Manifolds in Nonlinear Wave Equations (F Verhulst)
  • Complete Symmetry Groups and Lie Remarkability (K Andriopoulos)
  • Geodesically Equivalent Flat Bi-Cofactor Systems (K Marciniak)
  • On the Dihedral N-Body Problem (A Portaluri)
