Abstract:We analyze dynamical systems of general form possessing gradient (symmetric) and Hamiltonian (antisymmetric) flow parts. The relevance of such systems to self-organizing processes is discussed. Coherent structure formation and related gradient flows on matrix Grassmann type manifolds are considered. The corresponding graph model associated with the partition swap neighborhood problem is studied. The criterion for emerging gradient and Hamiltonian flows is established. As an example we consider nonlinear dynami… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
