Variational Discretizations of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Field Theories

Abstract:

In this talk, after discussing the necessary background material, I will discuss the main results of my recent work \emph{Variational Structures in Cochain Projection Based Discretizations of Lagrangian PDEs} and \emph{Multisymplectic Hamiltonian Variational Integrators}; this is joint work with Prof. Melvin Leok. \\ \\ Building on these ideas, I will conclude by discussing future research directions.
