Two symplectic structures on a manifold determine a (1,1)-tensor field on . In this paper we study some properties of this field. Conversely, if is (1,1)-tensor field on a symplectic manifold then using the natural lift theory we find conditions under which , is symplectic.
A proof of the Chekanov theorem is discussed from a geometric point of view. Similar results in the context of projectivized cotangent bundles are proved. Some applications are given.
See Summary in Note I. First, on the basis of some results in [2] or [5]-such as Lemmas 8.1 and 10.1-the general (mathematical) theorems on controllizability proved in Note I are quickly applied to (mechanic) Lagrangian systems. Second, in case , and satisfy conditions (11.7) when is a polynomial in , conditions (C)-i.e. (11.8) and (11.7) with -are proved to be necessary for treating satisfactorily 's hyper-impulsive motions (in which positions can suffer first order discontinuities)....
In [1] I and II various equivalence theorems are proved; e.g. an ODE with a scalar control is linear w.r.t. iff its solution with given initial conditions (chosen arbitrarily) is continuous w.r.t. in a certain sense, or iff
A formulation of the D’Alembert principle as the orthogonal projection of the acceleration onto an affine plane determined by nonlinear nonholonomic constraints is given. Consequences of this formulation for the equations of motion are discussed in the context of several examples, together with the attendant singular reduction theory.
