Controlled Lagrangians and Stabilization of Discrete Mechanical Systems I
Controlled Lagrangian and matching techniques are developed for the stabilization of relative equilibria and equilibria of discrete mechanical systems with symmetry as well as broken symmetry. Interesting new phenomena arise in the controlled Lagrangian approach in the discrete context that are not present in the continuous theory. In particular, to make the discrete theory effective, one can m...
متن کاملLagrangian Reduction and the Double Spherical Pendulum
This paper studies the stability and bifurcations of the relative equilibria of the double spherical pendulum, which has the circle as its symmetry group. This example as well as others with nonabelian symmetry groups, such as the rigid body, illustrate some useful general theory about Lagrangian reduction. In particular, we establish a satisfactory global theory of Lagrangian reduction that is...

متن کاملRelative Lyapunov Centre Bifurcations
Relative equilibria and relative periodic orbits (RPOs) are ubiquitous in symmetric Hamiltonian systems and occur for example in celestial mechanics, molecular dynamics and rigid body motion. Relative equilibria are equilibria and RPOs are periodic orbits of the symmetry reduced system. Relative Lyapunov centre bifurcations are bifurcations of relative periodic orbits from relative equilibria c...
متن کاملRelaxed Matching for Stabilization of Mechanical Systems
The method of controlled Lagrangians is a technique for stabilizing relative equilibria of mechanical systems with symmetry. This paper develops a modification of kinetic shaping technique in the theory of controlled Lagrangians. The main idea is that the dynamics associated with the controlled Lagrangian is amended by non-conservative forces that act in the shape directions; this gives additio...
