New trends in mechanics. I. Generalized differential variational principles in rational mechanics.
New variational principle and duality for an abstract semilinear Dirichlet problem
A new variational principle and duality for the problem Lu = ∇G(u) are provided, where L is a positive definite and selfadjoint operator and ∇G is a continuous gradient mapping such that G satisfies superquadratic growth conditions. The results obtained may be applied to Dirichlet problems for both ordinary and partial differential equations.
Non singular Hamiltonian systems and geodesic flows on surfaces with negative curvature.
We extend here results for escapes in any given direction of the configuration space of a mechanical system with a non singular bounded at infinity homogeneus potential of degree -1, when the energy is positive. We use geometrical methods for analyzing the parallel and asymptotic escapes of this type of systems. By using Riemannian geometry methods we prove under suitable conditions on the potential that all the orbits escaping in a given direction are asymptotically parallel among themselves. We...

Non-decomposable Nambu brackets
It is well-known that the Fundamental Identity (FI) implies that Nambu brackets are decomposable, i.e. given by a determinantal formula. We find a weaker alternative to the FI that allows for non-decomposable Nambu brackets, but still yields a Darboux-like Theorem via a Nambu-type generalization of Weinstein’s splitting principle for Poisson manifolds.
Non-holonomic mechanical systems in jet bundles.
In this paper we present a geometrical formulation for Lagrangian systems subjected to non-holonomic constraints in terms of jet bundles. Cosymplectic geometry and almost product structures are used to obtained the constrained dynamics without using Lagrange multipliers method.

On a generalization of Helmholtz conditions
Helmholtz conditions in the calculus of variations are necessary and sufficient conditions for a system of differential equations to be variational ‘as it stands’. It is known that this property geometrically means that the dynamical form representing the equations can be completed to a closed form. We study an analogous property for differential forms of degree 3, so-called Helmholtz-type forms in mechanics (), and obtain a generalization of Helmholtz conditions to this case.
On a two-point boundary value problem for second-order differential inclusions on Riemannian manifolds.
On asymptotic motions of robot-manipulator in homogeneous space
In this paper the notion of robot-manipulators in the Euclidean space is generalized to the case in a general homogeneous space with the Lie group of motions. Some kinematic subspaces of the Lie algebra (the subspaces of velocity operators, of Coriolis acceleration operators, asymptotic subspaces) are introduced and by them asymptotic and geodesic motions are described.
On Carnot's theorem in time dependent impulsive mechanics.
We show that the validity of the Carnot's theorem about the kinetic energy balance for a mechanical system subject to an inert impulsive kinetic constraint, once correctly framed in the time dependent geometric environment for Impulsive Mechanics given by the left and right jet bundles of the space-time bundle N, is strictly related to the frame of reference used to describe the system and then it is not an intrinsic property of the mechanical system itself. We analyze in details the class of frames...
On differential inclusions of velocity hodograph type with Carathéodory conditions on Riemannian manifolds
We investigate velocity hodograph inclusions for the case of right-hand sides satisfying upper Carathéodory conditions. As an application we obtain an existence theorem for a boundary value problem for second-order differential inclusions on complete Riemannian manifolds with Carathéodory right-hand sides.
