On prolongation of higher order connections

Miroslav Doupovec, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We describe all bundle functors G admitting natural operators transforming rth order holonomic connections on a fibered manifold Y → M into rth order holonomic connections on GY → M. For second order holonomic connections we classify all such natural operators.

On iteration of higher order jets and prolongation of connections

Miroslav Doupovec, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We introduce exchange natural equivalences of iterated nonholonomic, holonomic and semiholonomic jet functors, depending on a classical linear connection on the base manifold. We also classify some natural transformations of this type. As an application we introduce prolongation of higher order connections to jet bundles.

Solving non-holonomic Lagrangian dynamics in terms of almost product structures.

Manuel de León, David Martín de Diego (1996)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a Lagrangian system with non-holonomic constraints we construct an almost product structure on the tangent bundle of the configuration manifold such that the projection of the Euler-Lagrange vector field gives the dynamics of the system. In a degenerate case, we develop a constraint algorithm which determines a final constraint submanifold where a completely consistent dynamics of the initial system exists.
