We study the tracking of a trajectory for a nonholonomic system by recasting the problem as an optimal control problem. The cost function is chosen to minimize the error in positions and velocities between the trajectory of a nonholonomic…
In this paper we study the reduction of a nonholonomic system by a group of symmetries in two steps. Using the so-called 'vertical-symmetry' condition, we first perform a 'compression' of the nonholonomic system leading to an almost…
A thorough investigation of the foundations of paraconsistent logics. Relations between logical principles are formally studied, a novel notion of consistency is introduced, the logics of formal inconsistency, and the subclasses of…
We apply the technique of Hamiltonian reduction for the construction of three-dimensional ${\cal N}=4$ supersymmetric mechanics specified by the presence of a Dirac monopole. For this purpose we take the conventional ${\cal N}=4$…

We investigate the reductions of dispersionless Harry Dym hierarchy to systems of finitely many partial differential equations. These equations must satisfy the compatibility condition and they are diagonalizable and semi-Hamiltonian. By…
Reduction is a process that uses symmetry to lower the order of a Hamiltonian system. The new variables in the reduced picture are often not canonical: there are no clear variables representing positions and momenta, and the Poisson bracket…
We first study the linear eigenvalue problem for a planar Dirac system in the open half-line and describe the nodal properties of its solution by means of the rotation number. We then give a global bifurcation result for a planar nonlinear…
We apply symmetry and invariance methods to analyse systems of difference equations. Non trivial symmetries are derived and their exact solutions obtained.
In this paper, we compare the performance of different numerical schemes in approximating Pontryagin's Maximum Principle's necessary conditions for the optimal control of nonholonomic systems. Retraction maps are used as a seed to construct…
In optimal control problems, there exist different kinds of extremals, that is, curves candidates to be solution: abnormal, normal and strictly abnormal. The key point for this classification is how those extremals depend on the cost…
The relationship between the Dirac and reduced phase space quantizations is investigated for spin models belonging to the class of Hamiltonian systems having no gauge conditions. It is traced out that the two quantization methods may give…
