We compare our formulation with Vershik-Gershkovich one in the case of linear constraints. We show how nonholonomic mechanics also admits a new geometrical description wich enables us to develop an algorithm of comparison between the solutions of both dynamics. Some examples illustrating the theory are treated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-06-24T15:52:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "34A26", "49K15", "70F25" ], "keywords": [ "nonholonomic dynamics", "geometric description", "comparison", "study optimal control problems", "geometrical description wich enables" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2000math......6183C" } } }
