We construct the exponential map associated to a nonholonomic system that allows us to define an exact discrete nonholonomic constraint submanifold. We reproduce the continuous nonholonomic flow as a discrete flow on this discrete…

An important result in the theory of harmonic maps is due to Benoist--Hulin: given a quasi-isometry $f:X\to Y$ between pinched Hadamard manifolds, there exists a unique harmonic map at a finite distance from $f$. Here we show existence of…
Within the framework of Lagrangian variables, we develop a method for deriving explicit solutions to the 2D Boussinesq equations using harmonic mapping theory. By reformulating the characterization of flow solutions described by harmonic…
