The notion of differential geometry is known to have played a fundamental role in unifying aspects of the physics of particles and fields, and have completely transformed the study of classical mechanics.In this paper we applied the definitions and concepts which we defined and derived in part (I) of our paper: Types of Derivatives: Concepts and Applications to problems arising in Geometry and Fluid Mechanics using exterior calculus. We analyzed this problem, using the geometrical formulation which is global and free of coordinates.

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a good tool to investigate problems in many geophysical application as classification of ground terrain types and coastal protection. In scientific literature, many analytical and/or numerical techniques have been taken into account to solve the classification problem at hand, especially in all of applications in which it is necessary to classify portion of images with uncertainty and imprecision. In fact, according to the conventional classification approaches, the assignment of a class to each portion of an image could be particularly inadequate for all those portions that span more than a class (for example the coastal areas of the shoreline). This article is devoted to present a fuzzy-geometric approach based on fuzzy subsethood operator to classify SAR images for coastal protection applications. The obtained results were compared, in terms of accuracy, with standard techniques of classification.

A geometrical formulation for adjoint-symmetries as one-forms is studied for general partial differential equations (PDEs), which provides a dual counterpart of the geometrical meaning of symmetries as tangent vector fields on the solution space of a PDE. Two applications of this formulation are presented. Additionally, for systems of evolution equations, adjoint-symmetries are shown to have another geometrical formulation given by one-forms that are invariant under the flow generated by the system on the solution space. This result is generalized to systems of evolution equations with spatial constraints, where adjoint-symmetry one-forms are shown to be invariant up to a functional multiplier of a normal one-form associated with the constraint equations. All of the results are applicable to the PDE systems of interest in applied mathematics and mathematical physics.

A geometrical formulation of estimation theory for finite-dimensional C∗-algebras is presented. This formulation allows to deal with the classical and quantum case in a single, unifying mathematical framework. The derivation of the Cramer–Rao and Helstrom bounds for parametric statistical models with discrete and finite outcome spaces is presented.

We briefly review the most relevant aspects of complete integrability for classical systems and identify those aspects which should be present in a definition of quantum integrability. We show that a naive extension of classical concepts to the quantum framework would not work because all infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces are unitarilly isomorphic and, as a consequence, it would not be easy to define degrees of freedom. We argue that a geometrical formulation of quantum mechanics might provide a way out.
