2 Finding new integrable systems; Why it is so difficult...?

3 Finding new integrable systems; Why it is so difficult...? Lack of sufficiently strong theorems; Dependence on many parameters: Masses m i ; Lengths of arms a i ; Young modulus of the springs k i ; and unstretched lengths of the springs.

4 The Idea! Simple double pendulum 1 The configuration space T 2 = S 1 S 1 Local coordinates (φ 1, φ 2 ) mod 2π; Regular as well as chaotic trajectories; Proof of its non-integrability is still missing. On the other hand, 1 W. Szumiński. Dynamics of multiple pendula. Bachelor thesis, University of Zielona Góra, accessible at

5 The Idea! Simple double pendulum 1 The configuration space T 2 = S 1 S 1 Local coordinates (φ 1, φ 2 ) mod 2π; Regular as well as chaotic trajectories; Proof of its non-integrability is still missing. On the other hand, in the absence of gravity system has S 1 symmetry. Introducing new variables θ 1 = φ 1, θ 2 = φ 2 φ 1, we note that θ 1 is a cyclic variable and the corresponding momentum is a missing first integral. 1 W. Szumiński. Dynamics of multiple pendula.

7 The idea is simple! Lets look for new integrable systems among planar multiple pendula in the absence of gravity when the S 1 symmetry is present. Methods: numerical: The Poincaré cross sections; analytical: Morales-Ramis theory 2 Proofs of all theorems can be found at 2 J. J. Morales Ruiz. Differential Galois theory and non-integrability of Hamiltonian systems. Progress in Mathematics, volume 179, Birkhäuser Verlag, Basel, 1999.

8 Double spring pendulum Figure: Geometry of the system and Poincaré section: E = 0.001, m 1 = m 2 = a 1 = a 2 = 1, k = 0.1, c = 0 cross-plain x = 1, p 3 > 0. Theorem: Assume that a 1 m 1 m 2 0, and c = 0. Then the reduced system descended from double spring pendulum is non-integrable in the class of meromorphic functions of coordinates and momenta.

9 Two rigid spring pendula Figure: Geometry and Poincaré cross-section: E = 0.12, m 1 = m 2 = a 1 = a 2 = 1, k 1 = k 2 = 1/10, c = 1/10, cross-plain x 1 = 0, p 1 > 0. Theorem: If m 1 m 2 k 1 c 0, and k 2 = 0, then the reduced two rigid spring pendula system is non-integrable in the class of meromorphic functions of coordinates and momenta.

10 Two rigid spring pendula: integrable cases Case I: c = 0, then the reduced Hamilton equations becomes linear equations with constant coefficients. Case II: k 1 = k 2 = 0, then original Hamiltonian simplifies to H = 1 ( p p2 2 p 2 ) m 1 m 2 m 1 x m 2x 2, (1) 2 with two additional first integrals F 1 = p 3, F 2 = m 2 p 2 x 1 m 2 p 1 x 2.

11 Triple flail pendulum Figure: Geometry and Poincaré cross-section: E = 0.01, m 1 = 1, m 2 = 3, m 3 = 2, a 1 = 1, a 2 = 2, a 3 = 3, c = 1, cross-plain θ 2 = 0, p 2 > 0. Theorem: Assume that a 1 a 2 a 3 m 2 m 3 0, and m 2 a 2 = m 3 a 3. If either (i) m 1 0, c 0, a 2 a 3, or (ii) a 2 = a 3, and c = 0, then the reduced flail system is not integrable in the class of meromorphic functions of coordinates and momenta. 3 3 M.

16 Triple bar pendulum Figure: Geometry and Poincaré section: E = 0.008, m 1 = m 2 = 1, m 3 = 2, a 1 = 1, a 2 = 2, a 3 = 1, d 1 = d 2 = 1, c = 1 2, cross-plain θ 2, p 2 > 0 Theorem: Assume that a 2 a 3 m 1 m 2 m 3 0, and m 2 a 2 = m 3 a 3, d 1 = d 2. If either (i) c 0, a 2 a 3 or (ii) a 2 = a 3, and c = 0, then the reduced triple bar system is not integrable in the class of meromorphic functions of coordinates and momenta.

17 Simple triple pendulum Figure: Geometry and Poincaré section: E = 0.011, m 1 = 2, m 2 = 1, m 3 = 1, a 1 = 2, a 2 = a 3 = 1, c = 1, cross-plain θ 2, p 2 > 0. Problem: We are not able to find a non-trivial particular solution. Thus we can not apply the Morales-Ramis theory.

18 Chain of mass points Figure: geometry and Poincaré section: E = 0.045; m 1 = m 3 = 1, m 2 = 2, m 4 = 3, a 2 = a 3 = 1, a 4 = 3, c = 3 2, cross-plain θ 3, p 3 > 0. n + 1 degrees of freedom: Generalized coordinates: (x 1, y 1 ) of the first mass calculated with respect to the center of the mass of all n bodies; Relative angles θ i between i-th and i 1-th arms.

19 Vector radii of corresponding masses r 1 = (x 1, y 1 ), r i = r i 1 + a i cos In the center of mass Thus, we can express Then i θ j, sin j=2 i j=2 θ j, i = 2,..., n n m i r i = 0, (2) i=1 (x 1, y 1 ) [x 1 (θ i ), y 1 (θ i )]. V = n m i gy i = 0. i=1 three masses - integrable; four masses - not integrable. When m 3 a 4 = m 3 a 2 a non-trivial particular solution is know: The non-integrability analysis is in progress.

20 Unfixed triple flail pendulum Figure: Geometry and Poincaré section: E = 0.24, m 1 = m 3 = 1, m 2 = 2, m 4 = 3, a 2 = a 3 = 1, a 4 = 3, c = 3 2, cross-plan θ 3, p 3 > 0. One can also find a non-trivial particular solution when a 3 = a 4. The non-integrability analysis is in progress.

21 General procedure to get integrability or non-integrability proofs... to apply the Morales-Ramis theory! Let H : C 2n C be a holomorphic Hamiltonian, and d dt x = ν H(x), ν H (x) = I 2n x H, x C 2n, t C, the associated Hamilton equations. Let t φ(t) C 2n be a non-equilibrium solution of (3). (3)

22 General procedure to get integrability or non-integrability proofs Variational equations along φ(t) have the form d dt ξ = A(t)ξ, A(t) = ν H (φ(t)). (4) x We can attach to equations (4) the differential Galois group G. Theorem (Morales-Ruiz and Ramis): Assume that a Hamiltonian system is meromorphically integrable in the Liouville sense in a neigbourhood of a phase curve Γ. Then the identity component of the differential Galois group of NVEs associated with Γ is Abelian.

23 Example: double spring pendulum Hamiltonian of the reduced system for p 1 = c = 0 H = [ m 2 p 2 2x 2 + 2a 1 m 2 p 2 x(p 2 cos θ 2 + p 3 x sin θ 2 ) + a 2 1(m 1 (p x 2 (p km 2 (x a 2 ) 2 )) + m 2 (p 2 cos θ 2 + p 3 x sin θ 2 ) 2] /(2a 2 1m 1 m 2 x 2 ), (5) Hamilton equations have particular solutions given by θ 2 = p 2 = 0, ẋ = p 3 m 2, ṗ 3 = k(a 2 x). (6) We chose a solution on the level H(0, x, 0, p 3 ) = E, and [Θ 2, X, P 2, P 3 ] T be variations of [θ 2, x, p 2, p 3 ] T. Then the variational equations along this particular solution are following

24 Θ 2 Ẋ P 2 = P 3 p 3 (a 1 +x) a 1 m 1 x 0 a 2 1 m 1+m 2 (a 1 +x) 2 a 2 1 m 1m 2 x m 2 p2 3 m 1 0 p 3(a 1 +x) a 1 m 1 x 0 0 k 0 0 Θ 2 X P 2, (7) P 3 where x and p 3 satisfy (6). Equations for Θ 2 and P 2 form a subsystem of normal variational equations and can be rewritten as one second-order differential equation Θ + P Θ + QΘ = 0, Θ Θ 2, P = 2a 1p 3 (a 1 (m 1 + m 2 ) + m 2 x) m 2 x(a 2 1 m 1 + m 2 (a 1 + x) 2 ), Q = k(a 1 + x)(x a 2 ) m 1 a 1 x 2a 2 1 p2 3 m 2 a 1 x(a 2 1 m 1 + m 2 (a 1 + x) 2 ). (8)

25 The following change of independent variable t z = x(t) + a 1, and then a change of dependent variable [ Θ = w exp 1 z ] p(ζ) dζ 2 z 0 transforms this equation into an equation with rational coefficients w = r(z)w, r(z) = q(z)+ 1 2 p (z)+ 1 4 p(z)2, p(z), q(z) C(z). (9)

26 Kovacic algorithm 4. Lemma A : Let G be the differential Galois group of Eq.(9). Then one of the four cases can occur. Case I. Eq. (9) has an exponential solution w = P exp[ ω], P C[z], ω C(z) and G is a triangular group. Case II. (9) has solution w = exp[ ω], where ω is algebraic function of degree 2 and G is the dihedral group. Case III. G is finite; in this case all solutions of equations (9) are algebraic. Case IV. G = SL(2, C) and equation (9) has no Liouvillian solution. 4 J. J. Kovacic. An algorithm for solving second order linear homogeneous differential equations. J. Symbolic Comput., 2(1):3 43, 1986.

27 Kovacic algorithm: necessary conditions Let us write r(z) C(z) in the form r(z) = s(z) t(z), s(z), t(z) C[z]. The roots of t(z) are poles of r(z). The order of the pole is the multiplicity of the zero of t; The order of r at is deg(t) deg(s).

28 Lemma B : The necessary conditions for the respective cases in Lemma A are the following Case I. Every pole of r must have even order or else have order 1. The order of r at must be even or else be grater than 2. Case II. r must have at least on pole that either has odd order greater than 2 or else has order 2. Case III. The order of a pole of r cannot exceed 2 and the order of r at must be at least 2. If the partial fraction expansion of r is r(z) = i a i (z c i ) 2 + j b j z d j, then i = 1 + 4a i Q, for each i, j b j = 0 and if g = i a i + j b j d j, then 1 + 4g Q.

29 Results Equation (9) can only fall into cases (I) or (IV), its degree of infinity is 1. Moreover, one can show that there is no algebraic function ω of degree 2 such that ω = exp [ ω ] satisfies (9). Thus G = SL(2, C) with non-abelian identity component and the necessary integrability condition is not satisfied!
