Contact Systems and Corank One Involutive Subdistributions
نویسنده
چکیده
We give necessary and sufficient geometric conditions for a distribution (or a Pfaffian system) to be locally equivalent to the canonical contact system on J(R, R). We study the geometry of that class of systems, in particular, the existence of corank one involutive subdistributions. We also distinguish regular points, at which the system is equivalent to the canonical contact system, and singular points, at which we propose a new normal form that generalizes the canonical contact system on J(R, R) in a way analogous to that how Kumpera-Ruiz normal form generalizes the canonical contact system on J(R, R), which is also called Goursat normal form.

A New Intrinsic Characterization of the Contact System for Curves by Corank One Involutive Subdistributions
In our paper, we address the following question: “Which nonholonomic control systems are locally feedback equivalent to the canonical contact system on Jn(R;Rm )?” We provide easily checkable necessary and sufficient conditions, expressed in terms of the original system, for such a feedback transformation to exist. Moreover, our proofs exhibit a deep geometry of contact systems.
متن کاملGlobal Stability of Distributions of Higher Corank of Derived Length One
Studying a manifold with a certain geometric structure becomes an interesting topic in differential topology when such a structure has some stability. The local stability of symplectic and contact structures, the Darboux theorem, is a fundamental property for symplectic and contact topology. There is a well-known global stability theorem for contact structures, the Gray theorem (see [3]): a one...
متن کاملSimplifying Numerical Solution of Constrained Pde Systems through Involutive Completion
When analysing general systems of PDEs, it is important first to find the involutive form of the initial system. This is because the properties of the system cannot in general be determined if the system is not involutive. We show that the notion of involutivity is also interesting from the numerical point of view. The use of the involutive form of the system allows one to consider quite genera...
متن کاملOn the probability distribution of singular varieties of given corank
We exhibit sharp upper bounds for the probability distribution of the distance from a system of multivariate polynomial equations to the strata of all systems having a critical zero of given corank. We also prove sharp upper bounds for the probability distribution of the condition number of singular systems of multivariate polynomial equations. We finally state a new and sharp technique of the ...
متن کاملComprehensive Involutive Systems
In this paper we consider parametric ideals and introduce a notion of comprehensive involutive system. This notion plays the same role in theory of involutive bases as the notion of comprehensive Gröbner system in theory of Gröbner bases. Given a parametric ideal, the space of parameters is decomposed into a finite set of cells. Each cell yields the corresponding involutive basis of the ideal f...
