Non-holonomic mechanical systems in jet bundles.

Manuel de León, David Martín de Diego (1996)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In this paper we present a geometrical formulation for Lagrangian systems subjected to non-holonomic constraints in terms of jet bundles. Cosymplectic geometry and almost product structures are used to obtained the constrained dynamics without using Lagrange multipliers method.

Linearisation of second-order differential equations.

Eduardo Martínez (1996)

Extracta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Given a second order differential equation on a manifold we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a coordinate system in which the system is linear. The main tool to be used is a linear connection defined by the system of differential equations.
