Critical Manifolds and Stability in Hamiltonian Systems with Non-holonomic Constraints
We explore a particular approach to the analysis of dynamical and geometrical properties of autonomous, Pfaffian non-holonomic systems in classical mechanics. The method is based on the construction of a certain auxiliary constrained Hamiltonian system, which comprises the non-holonomic mechanical system as a dynamical subsystem on an invariant manifold. The embedding system possesses a complet...
متن کاملNon-Holonomic Stability Aspects of Piecewise-Holonomic Systems
We consider mechanical systems with intermittent contact that are smooth and holonomic except at the instants of transition. Overall such systems can be nonholonomic in that the accessible configuration space can have larger dimension than the instantaneous motions allowed by the constraints. The known examples of such mechanical systems are also dissipative. By virtue of their non-holonomy and...
متن کاملHolonomic Constraints: A Case for Statistical Mechanics of Non-Hamiltonian Systems
A dynamical system submitted to holonomic constraints is Hamiltonian only if considered in the reduced phase space of its generalized coordinates and momenta, which need to be defined ad hoc in each particular case. However, specially in molecular simulations, where the number of degrees of freedom is exceedingly high, the representation in generalized coordinates is completely unsuitable, alth...
متن کاملOn the Control of Non Holonomic Systems by Active Constraints
The paper is concerned with mechanical systems which are controlled by implementing a number of time-dependent, frictionless holonomic constraints. The main novelty is due to the presence of additional non-holonomic constraints. We develop a general framework to analyze these problems, deriving the equations of motion and studying the continuity properties of the “input-to-trajectory” maps. Var...
متن کاملPhase space flows for non-Hamiltonian systems with constraints.
In this paper, non-Hamiltonian systems with holonomic constraints are treated by a generalization of Dirac's formalism. Non-Hamiltonian phase space flows can be described by generalized antisymmetric brackets or by general Liouville operators which cannot be derived from brackets. Both situations are treated. In the first case, a Nosé-Dirac bracket is introduced as an example. In the second one...
