On special types of nonholonomic 3 -jets

Ivan Kolář (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We deduce a classification of all special types of nonholonomic 3 -jets. In the introductory part, we summarize the basic properties of nonholonomic r -jets.

On topological invariants of vector bundles

Zbigniew Szafraniec (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let E → W be an oriented vector bundle, and let X(E) denote the Euler number of E. The paper shows how to calculate X(E) in terms of equations which describe E and W.

An algorithm based on rolling to generate smooth interpolating curves on ellipsoids

Krzysztof Krakowski, Fátima Silva Leite (2014)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

We present an algorithm to generate a smooth curve interpolating a set of data on an n -dimensional ellipsoid, which is given in closed form. This is inspired by an algorithm based on a rolling and wrapping technique, described in [11] for data on a general manifold embedded in Euclidean space. Since the ellipsoid can be embedded in an Euclidean space, this algorithm can be implemented, at least theoretically. However, one of the basic steps of that algorithm consists in rolling the ellipsoid,...

Natural transformations between T²₁T*M and T*T²₁M

Miroslav Doupovec (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We determine all natural transformations T²₁T*→ T*T²₁ where T k r M = J 0 r ( k , M ) . We also give a geometric characterization of the canonical isomorphism ψ₂ defined by Cantrijn et al.
