Subharmonics near an equilibrium point for Hamiltonian systems.
Starting from the considerations developed in [4], it is shown that the only forces at a distance exerted among the elements of an isolated spherical cluster of incoherent matter which, preserving homogeneity, is collapsing are those expressed by Newton's law of gravitation and those of the elastic type. Furthermore the reverse is shown, that is if the forces at a distance are of these two types during the collapse the homogeneity is preserved.
With reference to Nota I, the hypothesis that the cluster is spherical is substituted by the hypothesis that it has an isotropic behaviour with respect to a given frame of reference with origin in an element internal to . The kinematical behaviour of during the collapse with respect to the frames of reference with origin in the elements of and in translatory motion with respect to is studied. This behaviour is the same with respect to each of such frames, which are in translatory motion...
In the present paper we seek the bounce trajectories in a convex set which assume assigned positions in two fixed time instants. We find sufficient conditions in order to obtain the existence of infinitely many bounce trajectories.
Without making recourse to Newton's law of gravitation and starting from the concept of gravitational force, the concepts of active gravitational mass and of passive gravitational mass are introduced. Furthermore it is proved that they can be identified and that in Newton's law of gravitation the linear dependence on masses necessarily follows from the principle of superposition of simultaneous forces and from Newton's third law of dynamics.
In the case of a satellite in a circular orbit the solutions of Euler's equations are not single-valued for arbitrary initial values.
The spherical version of the two-dimensional central harmonic oscillator, as well as the spherical Kepler (Schrödinger) potential, are superintegrable systems with quadratic constants of motion. They belong to two different spherical "Smorodinski-Winternitz" families of superintegrable potentials. A new superintegrable oscillator have been recently found in S². It represents the spherical version of the nonisotropic 2:1 oscillator and it also belongs to a spherical family of quadratic superintegrable...
In this work we determine for the Cattaneo heat propagation system all the supplementary balance laws (shortly SBL) of the same order (zero) as the system itself and extract the constitutive relations (expression for the internal energy) dictated by the Entropy Principle. The space of all supplementary balance laws (having the functional dimension 8) contains four original balance laws and their deformations depending on 4 functions of temperature (). The requirements of the II law of thermodynamics...
This paper presents a method for building a foothold selection module as well as methods for the stability check for a multi-legged walking robot. The foothold selection decision maker is shaped automatically, without expert knowledge. The robot learns how to select appropriate footholds by walking on rough terrain or by testing ground primitives. The gathered knowledge is then used to find a relation between slippages and the obtained local shape of the terrain, which is further employed to assess...
