  2. Canonical form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_form

    That bundle can always be endowed with a certain differential form, called the canonical one-form. This form gives the cotangent bundle the structure of a symplectic manifold , and allows vector fields on the manifold to be integrated by means of the Euler-Lagrange equations , or by means of Hamiltonian mechanics .

  3. State-space representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-space_representation

    In control engineering and system identification, a state-space representation is a mathematical model of a physical system that uses state variables to track how inputs shape system behavior over time through first-order differential equations or difference equations. These state variables change based on their current values and inputs, while ...

  4. Canonical transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canonical_transformation

    Restricted canonical transformations are coordinate transformations where transformed coordinates Q and P do not have explicit time dependence, i.e., = (,) and = (,).The functional form of Hamilton's equations is ˙ =, ˙ = In general, a transformation (q, p) → (Q, P) does not preserve the form of Hamilton's equations but in the absence of time dependence in transformation, some ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_mechanics

    Hamilton's equations give the time evolution of coordinates and conjugate momenta in four first-order differential equations, ˙ = ˙ = ⁡ ˙ = ⁡ ⁡ ⁡ ˙ = Momentum ⁠ ⁠, which corresponds to the vertical component of angular momentum ⁠ = ⁡ ⁡ ˙ ⁠, is a constant of motion. That is a consequence of the rotational symmetry of the ...

  6. Jordan normal form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_normal_form

    The Jordan form is used to find a normal form of matrices up to conjugacy such that normal matrices make up an algebraic variety of a low fixed degree in the ambient matrix space. Sets of representatives of matrix conjugacy classes for Jordan normal form or rational canonical forms in general do not constitute linear or affine subspaces in the ...

  7. Elliptic partial differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_partial...

    This equation is linear in the "leading-order terms" but allows nonlinear expressions involving the function values and their first derivatives; this is sometimes called a quasilinear equation. A canonical form asks for a transformation w = w(x, y) and z = z(x, y) of the domain so that, when u is viewed as a function of w and z, the above ...

  8. Poisson bracket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson_bracket

    In addition, in canonical coordinates (with {,} = {,} = and {,} =), Hamilton's equations for the time evolution of the system follow immediately from this formula. It also follows from (1) that the Poisson bracket is a derivation ; that is, it satisfies a non-commutative version of Leibniz's product rule :

  9. Matrix differential equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_differential_equation

    A differential equation is a mathematical equation for an unknown function of one or several variables that relates the values of the function itself and its derivatives of various orders. A matrix differential equation contains more than one function stacked into vector form with a matrix relating the functions to their derivatives.
