Claims
Our methods yield explicit Hamiltonian descriptions for several nonlinear nonconservative PDEs with polynomial dissipative terms, including damped Klein-Gordon, Allen-Cahn, generalized Burgers, porous medium equations with linear absorption, complex Ginzburg-Landau, damped nonlinear Schrödinger, Fisher-KPP, damped ϕ^4, damped sine-Gordon, and FitzHugh-Nagumo equations, and many others.
That the k-contact Hamilton-De Donder-Weyl formalism on canonical k-contact manifolds and k-contactifications of exact k-symplectic phase spaces can be directly applied to produce well-defined Hamiltonian descriptions for the listed dissipative PDEs without additional ad-hoc adjustments.
k-contact geometry supplies explicit Hamiltonian descriptions for multiple dissipative PDEs including damped Klein-Gordon, Allen-Cahn, Fisher-KPP, and complex Ginzburg-Landau equations.
