Su un classico controesempio della teoria della stabilità delle equazioni differenziali
The purpose of this paper is to show that the method of controlled lagrangians and its hamiltonian counterpart (based on the notion of passivity) are equivalent under rather general hypotheses. We study the particular case of simple mechanical control systems (where the underlying lagrangian is kinetic minus potential energy) subject to controls and external forces in some detail. The equivalence makes use of almost Poisson structures (Poisson brackets that may fail to satisfy the Jacobi identity)...

This paper extends some known results on the boundedness of solutions and the existence of periodic solutions of certain vector equations to matrix equations.
