We relate a Chaplygin type system to a Cartan decomposition of a real semi-simple Lie group. The resulting system is described in terms of the structure theory associated to the Cartan decomposition. It is shown to possess a preserved…

Constraints imposed directly on accelerations of the system leading to the relation of constants of motion with appropriate local projectors occurring in the derived equations are considered. In this way a generalization of the Noether's…
Consider briefly the equations of fluid dynamics-they describe the enormous wealth of detail in all the interacting physical elements of a fluid flow-whereas in applications we want to deal with a description of just that which is…
We propose a geometrical approach to the investigation of Hamiltonian systems on (Pseudo) Riemannian manifolds. A new geometrical criterion of instability and chaos is proposed. This approach is more generic than well known reduction to the…
A new geometric procedure to construct symplectic methods for constrained mechanical systems is developed in this paper. The definition of a map coming from the notion of retraction maps allows to adapt the continuous problem to the…
We study incremental stability and convergence of switched (bimodal) Filippov systems via contraction analysis. In particular, by using results on regularization of switched dynamical systems, we derive sufficient conditions for convergence…
Using the wave equation in d > or = 1 space dimensions it is illustrated how dynamical equations may be simultaneously Poincar\'e and Galileo covariant with respect to different sets of independent variables. This provides a method to…
The note focuses on the differential geometric approach to the study of nonlinear systems that are affine in control. We first develop normal forms for nonlinear system affine in control. Based on these normal forms, we then address the…
Convex geometry has recently attracted great attention as a framework to formulate general probabilistic theories. In this framework, convex sets and affine maps represent the state spaces of physical systems and the possible dynamics,…
In this paper two properties of recognized interest in variational analysis, known as Lipschitz lower semicontinuity and calmness, are studied with reference to a general class of variational systems, i.e. to solution mappings to…
We discuss two polynomial bi-Hamiltonian structures for the generalized integrable Chaplygin system on the sphere S^2 with an additional integral of fourth order in momenta. An explicit procedure to find the variables of separation, the…
In this paper, from the viewpoint of completeness of Marsden-Weinstein reduction, we illustrate how to give the definitions of a controlled Hamiltonian (CH) system and a reducible controlled Hamiltonian system with symmetry; and how to…
We approach the analysis of dynamical and geometrical properties of nonholonomic mechanical systems from the discussion of a more general class of auxiliary constrained Hamiltonian systems. The latter is constructed in a manner that it…
In this paper, we will discuss new developments regarding the Geometric Nonholonomic Integrator (GNI) [23, 24]. GNI is a discretization scheme adapted to nonholonomic mechanical systems through a discrete geometric approach. This method was…
A novel approach is introduced to a very widely occurring problem, providing a complete, explicit resolution of it: minimisation of a convex quadratic under a general quadratic, equality or inequality, constraint. Completeness comes via…
Generalised contact structures are studied from the point of view of reduced generalised complex structures, naturally incorporating non-coorientable structures as non-trivial fibering. The infinitesimal symmetries are described in detail,…
Discrete models have a long tradition in engineering, including finite state machines, Boolean networks, Petri nets, and agent-based models. Of particular importance is the question of how the model structure constrains its dynamics. This…
This study presents standard Cliffordian Kaehler analogue of Lagrangian mechanics. Also, the some geometric and physical results related to the standard Cliffordian Kaehler dynamical systems are given.
We clarify thermodynamics of the Chaplygin gas by introducing the integrability condition. All thermal quantities are derived as functions of either volume or temperature. Importantly, we find a new general equation of state, describing the…
