Path integrals formulations leading to propagator evaluation for coupled linear physics in large geometric models
PublicationReformulating linear physics using second kind Fredholm equations is very standard practice. One of the straightforward consequences is that the resulting integrals can be expanded (when the Neumann expansion converges) and probabilized, leading to path statistics and Monte Carlo estimations. An essential feature of these algorithms is that they also allow to estimate propagators for all types of sources, including initial conditions....

Periodic Solutions of Generalized Lagrangian Systems with Small Perturbations
PublicationIn this paper we study the generalized Lagrangian system with a small perturbation. We assume the main term in the system to have a maximum, but do not suppose any condition for perturbation term. Then we prove the existence of a periodic solution via Ekeland’s principle. Moreover, we prove a convergence theorem for periodic solutions of perturbed systems.

Periodic solutions of Lagrangian systems under small perturbations
PublicationIn this paper we prove the existence of mountain pass periodic solutions of a certain class of generalized Lagrangian systems under small perturbations. We show that the found periodic solutions converge to a periodic solution of the unperturbed system if the perturbation tends to 0. The proof requires to work in a rather unusual (mixed) Orlicz–Sobolev space setting, which bears several challenges.
