Similarity:

The paper contains the solution of the classification problem for all motions in the complex projective space, which have only plane trajectories. It is shown that each such motion is a submanifold of a maximal motion with the same property. Maximal projective space motions with only plane trajectories are determined by special linear submanifolds of dimensions 2, 3, 5, 8 in G L ( 4 , C ) , they are denoted as R , E 1 , . . . , E 6 , S 1 , S 2 and given by explicit expressions.

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

Manuel de León, David Martín de Diego (1996)

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.

Symmetries and currents in nonholonomic mechanics

Michal Čech, Jana Musilová (2014)

Communications in Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we derive general equations for constraint Noethertype symmetries of a first order non-holonomic mechanical system and the corresponding currents, i.e. functions constant along trajectories of the nonholonomic system. The approach is based on a consistent and effective geometrical theory of nonholonomic constrained systems on fibred manifolds and their jet prolongations, first presented and developed by Olga Rossi. As a representative example of application of the geometrical...
