• Multicontact formulation for non-conservative field theories 

      de León, Manuel; Gaset, Jordi; Muñoz-Lecanda, Miguel C.; Rivas, Xavier; Román-Roy, Narciso (Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2023)
      A new geometric structure inspired by multisymplectic and contact geometries, which we call multicontact structure, is developed to describe non-conservative classical field theories. Using the differential forms that ...
    • Time-dependent contact mechanics 

      de León, Manuel; Gaset, Jordi; Gràcia, Xavier; Muñoz-Lecanda, Miguel C.; Rivas, Xavier (Monatshefte fur Mathematik, 2023)
      Contact geometry allows us to describe some thermodynamic and dissipative systems. In this paper we introduce a new geometric structure in order to describe time-dependent contact systems: cocontact manifolds. Within this ...
