This article is concerned with the theory of mixed superposition rules and their connections with geometric structures. We provide methods to obtain mixed superposition rules for systems admitting an imprimitive finite-dimensional Lie algebra of vector fields or given by a semidirect sum. In particular, we develop a novel mixed coalgebra method for Lie systems that are Hamiltonian relative to a Dirac structure, which is quite general, although we restrict to symplectic and contact manifolds in applications. This provides us with practical methods to derive mixed superposition rules and extends the coalgebra method to a new field of application while solving minor technical issues of the known formalism. Throughout the paper, we apply our results to physical systems including Schrödinger Lie systems, Riccati systems, time-dependent Calogero–Moser systems with external forces, time-dependent harmonic oscillators, and time-dependent thermodynamical systems, where general solutions can be obtained from reduced system solutions. Our results are finally extended to Lie systems of partial differential equations and a new source of such PDE Lie systems, related to the formal construction of solutions close to a given particular solution of PDEs, is provided. An example based on the Tzitzéica equation and a related system illustrating the potential applicability of these methods is given.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51174,"journal":{"name":"Studies in Applied Mathematics","volume":"157 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148872106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The deterministic formulation is based on a Boltzmann–Fokker–Planck (BFP) equation with continuous slowing-down, angular diffusion, and scattering terms, posed in a kinetic variational setting. The stochastic formulation describes proton trajectories by a track-length parameterized Markov process with energy loss, angular diffusion, and jump scattering. The main result is an operator-theoretic connection between these two descriptions. We identify the backward generator of the stochastic process with the adjoint BFP operator and show that the associated resolvent represents the Green's function of the deterministic transport equation. This gives a rigorous interpretation of deterministic fluence as an expected occupation density of stochastic particle paths. We then apply this duality to dose computation and treatment planning. Dose is represented equivalently as a deterministic fluence functional and as an expected accumulated stopping-power functional along stochastic tracks. Finally, we formulate a hybrid SDE–PDE optimization framework in which stochastic forward simulations are combined with deterministic adjoint equations for gradient computation.

In the slow time formulation for the modeled solutions, this equation also generates fast propagating resonant forward radiation due to the non-convexity of its linear dispersion curve, which is not present in the direct numerical simulations of the strongly nonlinear Serre parent system (also known as the Su–Gardner and Green–Naghdi equations). We show that the extended KdV–Whitham approximation and the slow space formulation of the eKdV equation are suitable regularizations of the eKdV equation in several cases of interest. Importantly, unlike the KdV-type equations, it can be used to model waves of moderate amplitude.
