Geometrical aspects of the covariant dynamics of higher order

D. Opris, I. D. Albu (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We present some geometrical aspects of a higher-order jet bundle which is considered a suitable framework for the study of higher-order dynamics in continuous media. We generalize some results obtained by A. Vondra, [7]. These results lead to a description of the geometrical dynamics of higher order generated by regular equations.

Geometrical aspects of the Landau-Hall problem on the hiperbolic plane.

A. López Almorox, C. Tejero Prieto (2001)

RACSAM

Se discuten algunos aspectos del problema de Landau-Hall hiperbólico. El álgebra de Lie de las simetrías infinitesimales de este problema se da explícitamente, resultando ser isomorfa a so(2,1) y que sus invariantes Noether asociados son los momentos angulares hiperbólicos. Asimismo se desarrolla la formulación hamiltoniana, lo que nos permitirá obtener la variedad de órbitas de energía constante de este problema mediante técnicas de reducción simpléctica.

Geometry of non-holonomic diffusion

Simon Hochgerner, Tudor S. Ratiu (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We study stochastically perturbed non-holonomic systems from a geometric point of view. In this setting, it turns out that the probabilistic properties of the perturbed system are intimately linked to the geometry of the constraint distribution. For G -Chaplygin systems, this yields a stochastic criterion for the existence of a smooth preserved measure. As an application of our results we consider the motion planning problem for the noisy two-wheeled robot and the noisy snakeboard.

Geometry of second-order connections and ordinary differential equations

Alexandr Vondra (1995)

Mathematica Bohemica

The geometry of second-order systems of ordinary differential equations represented by 2 -connections on the trivial bundle error × M is studied. The formalism used, being completely utilizable within the framework of more general situations (partial equations), turns out to be of interest in confrontation with a traditional approach (semisprays), moreover, it amounts to certain new ideas and results. The paper is aimed at discussion on the interrelations between all types of connections having to do with...

Geometry of the rolling ellipsoid

Krzysztof Andrzej Krakowski, Fátima Silva Leite (2016)

Kybernetika

We study rolling maps of the Euclidean ellipsoid, rolling upon its affine tangent space at a point. Driven by the geometry of rolling maps, we find a simple formula for the angular velocity of the rolling ellipsoid along any piecewise smooth curve in terms of the Gauss map. This result is then generalised to rolling any smooth hyper-surface. On the way, we derive a formula for the Gaussian curvature of an ellipsoid which has an elementary proof and has been previously known only for dimension two....

Global asymptotic stabilisation of an active mass damper for a flexible beam

Laura Menini, Antonio Tornambè, Luca Zaccarian (1999)

Kybernetika

In this paper, a finite dimensional approximated model of a mechanical system constituted by a vertical heavy flexible beam with lumped masses placed along the beam and a mobile mass located at the tip, is proposed; such a model is parametric in the approximation order, so that a prescribed accuracy in the representation of the actual system can be easily obtained with the proposed model. The system itself can be understood as a simple representation of a building subject to transverse vibrations,...

Global stability of steady solutions for a model in virus dynamics

Hermano Frid, Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin, Benoît Perthame (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

We consider a simple model for the immune system in which virus are able to undergo mutations and are in competition with leukocytes. These mutations are related to several other concepts which have been proposed in the literature like those of shape or of virulence – a continuous notion. For a given species, the system admits a globally attractive critical point. We prove that mutations do not affect this picture for small perturbations and under strong structural assumptions. Based on numerical...
