Symmetrical top is a special case of a general top. The canonical Poisson structure on T*SE(3) is the common method of its description. This Poisson structure is invariant under the right action of SO(3). However the Hamiltonian of the…
We study controlled systems which are uniformly observable and differentially observable with an order larger than the system state dimension. We establish that they may be transformed into a (partial) triangular canonical form but with…
A rigid body in an ideal fluid is an important example of Hamiltonian systems on a dual to the semidirect product Lie algebra $e(3) = so(3)\ltimes\mathbb R^3$. We present the bi-Hamiltonian structure and the corresponding variables of…
This short note is devoted to the Hamiltonian analysis of three dimensional gravity action that was proposed recently in [arXiv:1309.7231]. We modify given action in order to be invariant under non-relativistic diffeomorphism. Then we…
Optimal control is ubiquitous in many fields of engineering. A common technique to find candidate solutions is via Pontryagin's maximum principle. An unfortunate aspect of this method is that the dimension of system doubles. When the system…
We study the dynamical response of a circularly-driven rigid body, focusing on the description of intrinsic rotational behavior (reverse rotations). The model system we address is integrable but nontrivial, allowing for qualitative and…
A novel method for control of dynamical systems, proposed in the paper, ensures an output signal belonging to the given set at any time. The method is based on a special change of coordinates such that the initial problem with given…
For a Hamiltonian system in R^{2n}, its two-system is defined in the phase space R^{2n} x sp(2n,R). In a sense, it is a combination of the original system and its system in variations with feedback. We study the Hamiltonian forms of the…
For linear control systems with bounded control range, chain controllability properties are analyzed. It is shown that there exists a unique chain control set and that it equals the sum of the control set around the origin and the center…
A close relationship between the classical Hamilton-Jacobi theory and the kinematic reduction of control systems by decoupling vector fields is shown in this paper. The geometric interpretation of this relationship relies on new…
A particulare case of the three-body problem, in the PPN formalism, is presented. The Hamiltonian function is obtained and the problem is reduced to a perturbed two-body one.
We show that the Suslov nonholonomic rigid body problem can be regarded almost everywhere as a generalized Chaplygin system. Furthermore, this provides a new example of a multidimensional nonholonomic system which can be reduced to a…
The relative equilibria of a symmetric Hamiltonian dynamical system are the critical points of the so-called augmented Hamiltonian. The underlying geometric structure of the system is used to decompose the critical point equations and…
In this paper, we study linear control systems with positive bounded orbits. We show that the existence of positive bounded orbits imposes strong algebraic and topological constraints on the state space. In fact, a linear control system has…
Families of three-body Hamiltonian systems in one dimension have been recently proved to be maximally superintegrable by interpreting them as one-body systems in the three-dimensional Euclidean space, examples are the Calogero, Wolfes 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…
Hybrid dynamical systems are systems which posses both continuous and discrete transitions. Assuming that the discrete transitions (resets) occur a finite number of times, the optimal control problem can be solved by gluing together the…
We consider a rigid body acted upon by two forces, a constant force and the collective force of interaction with a continuum of particles. We assume that some of the particles that collide with the body reflect elastically (specularly),…
In a recent paper by two of the authors, the concepts of upwards and downwards $\epsilon$-movability were introduced, mainly as a technical tool for studying dynamical percolation of interacting particle systems. In this paper, we further…
We study a class of two-sided optimal control problems of general linear diffusions under a so-called Poisson constraint: the controlling is only allowed at the arrival times of an independent Poisson signal processes. We give a weak and…
