The Journal of Geometric Mechanics (JGM) aims to publish research articles devoted to geometric methods (in a broad sense) in mechanics and control theory, and intends to facilitate interaction between theory and applications. Advances in the following topics are welcomed by the journal:1. Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics2. Symplectic and Poisson geometry and their applications to mechanics3. Geometric and optimal control theory4. Geometric and variational integration5. Geometry of stochastic systems6. Geometric methods in dynamical systems7. Continuum mechanics8. Classical field theory9. Fluid mechanics10. Infinite-dimensional dynamical systems11. Quantum mechanics and quantum information theory12. Applications in physics, technology, engineering and the biological sciences.
