On the algebraic structure on the jet prolongations of fibred manifolds
In the present work, divided in three parts, one considers a real skis-skier system, , descending along a straight-line with constant dry friction; and one schematizes it by a holonomic system , having any number of degrees of freedom and subjected to (non-ideal) constraints, partly one-sided. Thus, e.g., jumps and also «steps made with sliding skis» can be schematized by . Among the Lagrangian coordinates for two are the Cartesian coordinates and of its center of mass, , relative...
We establish the analytic non-integrability of the nonholonomic ellipsoidal rattleback model for a large class of parameter values. Our approach is based on the study of the monodromy group of the normal variational equations around a particular orbit. The imbedding of the equations of the heavy rigid body into the rattleback model is discussed.
In applying control (or feedback) theory to (mechanic) Lagrangian systems, so far forces have been generally used as values of the control . However these values are those of a Lagrangian co-ordinate in various interesting problems with a scalar control , where this control is carried out physically by adding some frictionless constraints. This pushed the author to consider a typical Lagrangian system , referred to a system of Lagrangian co-ordinates, and to try and write some handy conditions,...
Mostramos la existencia de dos curvas de datos iniciales (x0, v0) para las cuales las soluciones x(t) correspondientes del problema de Cauchy asociado a la ecuación xtt + |xt|α-1 xt + x = 0, supuesto α ∈ (0,1), se anulan idénticamente después de un tiempo finito. Mediante métodos asintóticos y argumentos de comparación mostramos que para muchos otros datos iniciales las soluciones decaen a 0, en un tiempo infinito, como t-α / (1-α).
Hydrogen atoms placed in external fields serve as a paradigm of a strongly coupled multidimensional Hamiltonian system. This system has been already very extensively studied, using experimental measurements and a wealth of theoretical methods. In this work, we apply the Morales-Ramis theory of non-integrability of Hamiltonian systems to the case of the hydrogen atom in perpendicular (crossed) static electric and magnetic uniform fields.
We present the semi-conductor Boltzmann equation, which is time-reversible, and indicate that it can be formally derived by considering the large time and small perturbing potential limit in the Von-Neumann equation (time-reversible). We then rigorously compute the corresponding asymptotics in the case of the Von-Neumann equation on the Torus. We show that the limiting equation we obtain does not coincide with the physically realistic model. The former is indeed an equation of Boltzmann type, yet...
The paper deals with the problem of finding the field of force that generates a given ()-parametric family of orbits for a mechanical system with degrees of freedom. This problem is usually referred to as the inverse problem of dynamics. We study this problem in relation to the problems of celestial mechanics. We state and solve a generalization of the Dainelli and Joukovski problem and propose a new approach to solve the inverse Suslov’s problem. We apply the obtained results to generalize the...
One studies the differential equations of the movement of certain classical and relativistic systems for some special Lagrangian functions. One considers particularly the case in which the problem presents cyclic coordinates. Some electrodynamical applications are studied.
