A reduction of the equations of motion to a fixed level set of first integrals is performed. Permanent rotations corresponding to the rolling of an ellipsoid in a circle or in a straight line are found. A linear stability analysis of permanent rotations is carried out. A complete classification of possible trajectories of the reduced system is performed using a bifurcation analysis. A classification of the trajectories of the center of mass of the ellipsoid depending on parameter values and initial conditions is performed.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-13T07:12:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37J60", "70E18", "70E40", "70E50" ], "keywords": [ "bifurcation analysis", "revolution rolling", "permanent rotations", "linear stability analysis", "horizontal plane" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
