By one of the most fundamental principles in physics, a dynamical system will exhibit those motions which extremise an action functional. This leads to the formation of the Euler-Lagrange equations, which serve as a model of how the system…
Non-conservative loads of the follower type are usually believed to be the source of dynamic instabilities such as flutter and divergence. It is shown that these instabilities (including Hopf bifurcation, flutter, divergence, and…

In this paper we present an energy shaping control law for set-point regulation of the Chaplygin sleigh. It is well known that nonholonomic mechanical systems cannot be asymptotically stabilised using smooth control laws as they do no…
We address stability of a class of Markovian discrete-time stochastic hybrid systems. This class of systems is characterized by the state-space of the system being partitioned into a safe or target set and its exterior, and the dynamics of…
Multi-body mechanical systems have rich internal dynamics, whose solutions can be exploited as efficient control targets. Yet, solutions non-trivially depend on system parameters, obscuring feasible properties for use as target…
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…
The structural invariant subspaces of the discrete-time singular Hamiltonian system are used in 1] to give an analytic nonrecursive expression of all the admissible trajectories. A deeper insight into the features of these subspaces,…
In this paper we review recent results on the existence of non-topological solitons in classical relativistic nonlinear field theories. We follow the Coleman approach, which is based on the existence of two conservation laws, energy and…
The Lie-Hamilton approach for $t$-dependent Hamiltonians is extended to cover the so-called nonlinear Lie-Hamilton systems, which are no longer related to a linear $t$-dependent combination of a basis of a finite-dimensional Lie algebra of…
The objective of this paper is to study the controllability of discrete-time linear control systems in solvable Lie groups. In the special case of nilpotent Lie groups, a necessary and sufficient condition for controllability is…
The main directions in the development of the nonholonomic dynamics are briefly considered in this paper. The first direction is connected with the general formalizm of the equations of dynamics that differs from the Lagrangian and…
