We consider the Suslov problem of nonholonomic rigid body motion with inhomogeneous constraints. We show that if the direction along which the Suslov constraint is enforced is perpendicular to a principal axis of inertia of the body, then…

We introduce a class of dynamical systems having an invariant measure, the modifications of well known systems on Lie groups: LR and L+R systems. As an example, we study modified Veselova nonholonomic rigid body problem, considered as a…

We propose a simple construction of the non-Hamiltonian dynamical systems possessing an invariant measure. These non-Hamiltonian systems are deformations of the Hamiltonian systems associated with trivial deformations of the canonical…

We derive conditions for a nonholonomic system subject to nonlinear constraints (obeying Chetaev's rule) to preserve a smooth volume form. When applied to affine constraints, these conditions dictate that a basic invariant density exists if…

We discuss the nonholonomic Chaplygin and the Borisov-Mamaev-Fedorov systems, for which symplectic forms are different deformations of the square root from the corresponding invariant volume form. In both cases second Poisson bivectors are…
