The paper is concerned with mechanical systems which are controlled by implementing a number of time-dependent, frictionless holonomic constraints. The main novelty is due to the presence of additional non-holonomic constraints. We develop…
We consider abstract second order systems of the form $\ddot{x}(t) + D \dot{x}(t) + Sx(t)=0$, which are typically analyzed via the operator matrix $\mathcal{A}=\left[\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & I \\ -S & -D \end{smallmatrix}\right]$ governing…

The modeling framework of port-Hamiltonian descriptor systems and their use in numerical simulation and control are discussed. The structure is ideal for automated network-based modeling since it is invariant under power-conserving…
We consider continuous-state and continuous-time control problems where the admissible trajectories of the system are constrained to remain on a union of half-planes which share a common straight line. This set will be named a junction. We…
