AbstractThe method of the Lie theory of extended groups has recently been formulated for Hamiltonian mechanics in a manner which is consistent with the results obtained using the Newtonian equation of motion. Here the method is applied to the three-dimensional time-independent harmonic oscillator and to the classical Kepler problem. The expected constants of motion are obtained. Previously unobserved relations between generators and invariants are also noticed.

The connection between Poincaré spheres for polarization and Gaussian beams is explored, focusing on the interpretation of elliptic polarization in terms of the isotropic two-dimensional harmonic oscillator in Hamiltonian mechanics, its canonical quantization and semiclassical interpretation. This leads to the interpretation of structured Gaussian modes, the Hermite–Gaussian, Laguerre–Gaussian and generalized Hermite–Laguerre–Gaussian modes as eigenfunctions of operators corresponding to the classical constants of motion of the two-dimensional oscillator, which acquire an extra significance as families of classical ellipses upon semiclassical quantization. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Optical orbital angular momentum’.

It is known that para-particles, together with fermions and bosons, of a single mode can be described as an irreducible representation of the Lie (super) algebra 𝔰𝔩2(ℂ) (2-dimensional special linear algebra over the complex number ℂ), that is, they satisfy the equation of motion of a harmonic oscillator. Under the equation of motion of a harmonic oscillator, we obtain the set of the commutation relations which is isomorphic to the irreducible representation, to find that the equation of motion, conversely, can be derived from the commutation relation only for the case of either fermion or boson. If Nature admits of the existence of such a sufficient condition for the equation of motion of a harmonic oscillator, no para-particle can be allowed.

Abstract. We study the problem of sinking particles in a realistic oceanic flow, with major energetic structures in the mesoscale, focussing on the range of particle sizes and densities appropriate for marine biogenic particles. Our aim is to evaluate the relevance of theoretical results of finite size particle dynamics in their applications in the oceanographic context. By using a simplified equation of motion of small particles in a mesoscale simulation of the oceanic velocity field, we estimate the influence of physical processes such as the Coriolis force and the inertia of the particles, and we conclude that they represent negligible corrections to the most important terms, which are passive motion with the velocity of the flow, and a constant added vertical velocity due to gravity. Even if within this approximation three-dimensional clustering of particles can not occur, two-dimensional cuts or projections of the evolving three-dimensional density can display inhomogeneities similar to the ones observed in sinking ocean particles.

We have studied the behaviour of a charged particle in an axially symmetric magnetic field having a neutral point, so as to find a possibility of confining a charged particle in a thermonuclear device. In order to study the motion we have reduced a three-dimensional motion to a two-dimensional one by introducing a fictitious potential. Following Schmidt we have classified the motion, as an ‘off-axis motion’ and ‘encircling motion’ depending on the behaviour of this potential. We see that the particle performs a hybrid type of motion in the negative z-axis, i.e. at some instant it is in ‘off-axis motion’ while at another instant it is in ‘encircling motion’. We have also solved the equation of motion numerically and the graphs of the particle trajectory verify our analysis. We find that in most of the cases the particle is contained. The magnetic moment is found to be moderately adiabatic.

In this paper, we consider Klein–Gordon particle near Reissner–Nordström black hole. The symmetry of such a background led us to compare the corresponding Laplace equation with the generalized Heun functions. Such relations help us achieve the generalized [Formula: see text] algebra and some suitable results for describing the above-mentioned symmetry. On the other hand, in case of [Formula: see text], which is near the proximity black hole, we obtain the energy spectrum. When we compare the equation of RN background with Laguerre differential equation, we show that the obtained energy spectrum is same as the three-dimensional harmonic oscillator. So, finally we take advantage of harmonic oscillator energy and make suitable partition function. Such function help us to obtain all thermodynamical properties of black hole. Also, the structure of obtained entropy lead us to have some bit and information theory in the RN black hole.

This paper presents a framework for the linear random vibration analysis of the coupled three-dimensional (3D) maglev vehicle-bridge system. Except for assembling the equation of motion of vehicle only via the principle of virtual work, the fully computerized approach is further expanded to assemble the governing equation of fluctuating current via the equilibrium relation. A state-space equation couples the equation of motion of the vehicle and the governing equation of fluctuating current. The equation of motion of a real three-span space continuous girder bridge is established by using finite element methods. A separated iteration method based on the precise integration method and the Newmark method is introduced to solve the state-space equation for the maglev vehicle and the equation of motion for the bridge. Moreover, a new scheme to application of the pseudoexcitation method (PEM) in random vibration analysis is proposed to maximize the computational efficiency of the random vibration analysis of the maglev vehicle-bridge system. Finally, the numerical simulation demonstrates that the proposed framework can efficiently obtain the mean value, root mean square (RMS), standard deviation (SD), and power spectral density (PSD) of dynamic response for the coupled 3D maglev vehicle-bridge system.
