Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of our Special Issue, titled “Singular Distributions with Special Structures and Symmetries”, is to bring together outstanding theoretical contributions to singular geometric distributions, adapting special structures and symmetries from various mathematical and physical research areas, but with real-world applications. Some of the topics of interest include:

  • Special structures specific to all mathematical or physical areas, which can offer outstanding examples to motivate general notions. They have specific symmetries that sometimes determine their theoretical force;
  • Singular geometric distributions, which are involved in many concrete applications, mostly in mechanics and control, but also elsewhere;
  • Lagrangians and Hamiltonians, whose use is adapted to singular geometric distributions, such as singular foliations, and which can be performed as in some classical cases;
  • The anchored approach used for singular geometric distributions, which can provide general structures and symmetries in an analogous way to classical cases; 
  • Classical generalizations using different types of algebroids or groupoids, which can be transferred to the study of singular structures and symmetries using classical methods for regular structures.

Our belief is that certain methods of discretization, such that the Veselov type of tangent spaces, can be extended to more general cases. The investigation of their properties, including symmetries, is therefore of extreme importance.

Jacobi Stability for T-System

Abstract
In this paper will be considered a three-dimensional autonomous quadratic polynomial system of first-order differential equations with three real parameters, the so-called T-system. This system is symmetric relative to the Oz-axis and represents a special type of the generalized Lorenz system. [...] Read more.
In this paper will be considered a three-dimensional autonomous quadratic polynomial system of first-order differential equations with three real parameters, the so-called T-system. This system is symmetric relative to the Oz-axis and represents a special type of the generalized Lorenz system. The approach of this work will consist of the study of the nonlinear dynamics of this system through the Kosambi–Cartan–Chern (KCC) geometric theory. More exactly, we will focus on the associated system of second-order differential equations (SODE) from the point of view of Jacobi stability by determining the five invariants of the KCC theory. These invariants determine the internal geometrical characteristics of the system, and particularly, the deviation curvature tensor is decisive for Jacobi stability. Furthermore, we will look for necessary and sufficient conditions that the system parameters must satisfy in order to have Jacobi stability for every equilibrium point. Full article

In this manuscript, we implement analytical multiple soliton wave and singular soliton wave solutions for coupled mKdV with a time-dependent variable coefficient. Based on the similarity transformation and Hirota bilinear technique, we construct both multiple wave kink and wave singular kink solutions for coupled mKdV with a time-dependent variable coefficient. We implement the Hirota bilinear technique to compute analytical solutions for the coupled mKdV system. Such calculations are made by using a software with symbolic computation software, for instance, Maple. Recently some researchers used Maple in order to show that the bilinear method of Hirota is a straightforward technique which can be used in the approach of differential, nonlinear models. We analyzed whether the experiments proved that the procedure is effective and can be successfully used for many other mathematical models used in physics and engineering. The results of this study display that the profiles of multiple-kink and singular-kink soliton types can be efficiently controlled by selecting the particular form of a similar time variable. The changes in the solitons based on the changes in the arbitrary function of time allows for more applications of them in applied sciences. Full article

The aim of the paper is to find conditions in which the derived almost Lie vector bundle E1 of an almost Lie vector bundle E is a Lie algebroid. The conditions are that some extended curvatures on E, considered in the paper, are vanishing. Two non-trivial examples are given. One example is when E0 is a skew symmetric algebroid; the other one is when E1 is not a skew symmetric algebroid. Full article

We will determine the five KCC invariants, which express the intrinsic geometric properties of the system, including the deviation curvature tensor.
