Classical relativistic nonholonomic mechanics and time-dependent $G$-Chaplygin systems with affine constraints
Abstract
We study the relativistic formulation of a classical time-dependent nonholonomic Lagrangian mechanics from the perspective of moving frames. We also introduce time-dependent -Chaplygin systems with affine constraints, which are natural objects for the invariant formulation of nonholonomic systems with symmetries. As far as the author is aware, the Hamiltonization problem for time-dependent constraints has not yet been studied. As a first step in this direction, we consider a rolling without sliding of a balanced disc of radius over a vertical circle of variable radius . We modify the Chaplygin multiplier method and prove that the reduced system becomes the usual Lagrangian system with respect to the new time.
