Hamiltonian, Lagrangian and Newton formalism of mechanics
If my thinking is wrong please let me know. I have little knowledge on beyond-college physics.
For research purposes, I read a few introductions to these three formalisms of classical mechanics [1,2,...

Perturbed vs. unperturbed Hamiltonian system
Let's take a time-periodic Hamiltonian $H(t,x,y)$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and
apply an arbitrarily small time-independent perturbation to $H$ via
$$
\tilde H (t,x,y) = H(t,x,y) + \epsilon V(x,y),
$$
where $...

Stability of rigid bodies spinning around $z$-axis under gravity
Consider the problem of a rigid body rotating in 3D space under gravity with one point fixed. I am particularly curious about the equilibrium state where the body is spinning at a constant angular ...
