We introduce energy-preserving integrators for nonholonomic mechanical systems. We will see that the nonholonomic dynamics is completely determined by a triple $({\mathcal D}^*, \Pi, \mathcal{H})$, where ${\mathcal D}^*$ is the dual of the…
Parallel simulation and control of large-scale robotic systems often rely on partitioned time stepping, yet finite-iteration coupling can inject spurious energy by violating power consistency--even when each subsystem is passive. This…

Symplectic integration of autonomous Hamiltonian systems is a well-known field of study in geometric numerical integration, but for non-autonomous systems the situation is less clear, since symplectic structure requires an even number of…
