Let be a function on a real Hilbert space and the manifold defined by Graph . We study the motion of a material point with unit mass, subjected to stay on and which moves under the action of the gravity force (characterized by ), the reaction force and the friction force ( is the friction parameter). For any initial conditions at time , we prove the existence of a trajectory defined on . We are then interested in the asymptotic behaviour of the trajectories when . More...
