Discrete mechanics, “time machines” and hybrid systems

Modifying the discrete mechanics proposed by T.D. Lee, we construct a class of discrete classical Hamiltonian systems, in which time is one of the dynamical variables. This includes a toy model of “time machines” which can travel forward and backward in time and which differ from models based on clo...
