The equivalence of controlled lagrangian and controlled hamiltonian systems

Dong Eui Chang, Anthony M. Bloch, Naomi E. Leonard, Jerrold E. Marsden, Craig A. Woolsey (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The purpose of this paper is to show that the method of controlled lagrangians and its hamiltonian counterpart (based on the notion of passivity) are equivalent under rather general hypotheses. We study the particular case of simple mechanical control systems (where the underlying lagrangian is kinetic minus potential energy) subject to controls and external forces in some detail. The equivalence makes use of almost Poisson structures (Poisson brackets that may fail to satisfy the Jacobi identity)...

The Equivalence of Controlled Lagrangian and Controlled Hamiltonian Systems

The existence of limit cycle for perturbed bilinear systems

Hanen Damak, Mohamed Ali Hammami, Yeong-Jeu Sun (2012)

Kybernetika

In this paper, the feedback control for a class of bilinear control systems with a small parameter is proposed to guarantee the existence of limit cycle. We use the perturbation method of seeking in approximate solution as a finite Taylor expansion of the exact solution. This perturbation method is to exploit the “smallness” of the perturbation parameter ε to construct an approximate periodic solution. Furthermore, some simulation results are given to illustrate the existence of a limit cycle for...

The fundamental theorem of dynamical systems

Douglas E. Norton (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We propose the title of The Fundamental Theorem of Dynamical Systems for a theorem of Charles Conley concerning the decomposition of spaces on which dynamical systems are defined. First, we briefly set the context and state the theorem. After some definitions and preliminary results, based both on Conley's work and modifications to it, we present a sketch of a proof of the result in the setting of the iteration of continuous functions on compact metric spaces. Finally, we claim that this theorem...

The gap phenomenon in the dimension study of finite type systems

Boris Kruglikov (2012)

Open Mathematics

Several examples of gaps (lacunes) between dimensions of maximal and submaximal symmetric models are considered, which include investigation of number of independent linear and quadratic integrals of metrics and counting the symmetries of geometric structures and differential equations. A general result clarifying this effect in the case when the structure is associated to a vector distribution, is proposed.
