Integrable Systems of Neumann Type

Tudor Ratiu

We construct families of integrable systems that interpolate between -dimensional harmonic oscillators and Neumann systems. This is achieved by studying a family of integrable systems generated by the Casimir functions of the Lie algebra of real skew-symme ...

Inertial microfluidic programming of microparticle-laden flows for solution transfer around cells and particles

Patrick Alain Sandoz, Léo Hamed Amini

Control of particles/cells and the surrounding fluid is enabling toward the purification of complex cellular samples, which still remains a bottleneck for point-of-care diagnostic devices. We explore a newly developed approach to engineer fluid stream moti ...

Integrable G-strands on semisimple Lie groups

Tudor Ratiu, François Gay-Balmaz

The present paper derives systems of partial differential equations that admit a quadratic zero curvature representation for an arbitrary real semisimple Lie algebra. It also determines the general form of Hamilton's principles and Hamiltonians for these s ...

A codimension two stable manifold of near soliton equivariant wave maps

Joachim Krieger, Daniel Tataru

We consider finite-energy equivariant solutions for the wave map problem from ℝ2+1 to S2 which are close to the soliton family. We prove asymptotic orbital stability for a codimension-two class of initial data which is small with respect to a stronger topo ...

Stability of Equilibria for the so(4) Free Rigid Body

Tudor Ratiu, Murat Turhan

The stability for all generic equilibria of the Lie-Poisson dynamics of the so(4) rigid body dynamics is completely determined. It is shown that for the generalized rigid body certain Cartan subalgebras (called of coordinate type) of so(n) are equilibrium ...

Numerical simulation of a sailing boat

Matteo Lombardi

In this work, various aspects concerning the numerical simulation of a sailing boat are investigated. The attention is focused on simulation of the free-surface, the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) between wind and sails, and the dynamics of the whole bo ...

Quotient method for stabilising a ball-on-a-wheel system – Experimental results

Dominique Bonvin, Philippe Müllhaupt, Killian Mark Daly

This paper extends the quotient method proposed in [1] and applies it to stabilize a “ball-on-a-wheel” system. The quotient method requires a diffeomorphism to obtain the normal form of the input vector field and uses canonical pro- jection to obtain the q ...

Gauge Transformations, Twisted Poisson Brackets and Hamiltonization of Nonholonomic Systems

In this paper we study the problem of Hamiltonization of nonholonomic systems from a geometric point of view. We use gauge transformations by 2-forms (in the sense of evera and Weinstein in Progr Theoret Phys Suppl 144:145 154 2001) to construct different ...

The Dixmier Map for Nilpotent Super Lie Algebras

In this article we prove that there exists a Dixmier map for nilpotent super Lie algebras. In other words, if we denote by Prim(U(g)) the set of (graded) primitive ideals of the enveloping algebra U(g) of a nilpotent Lie superalgebra g and Ad0 the adjoint ...

The hydrodynamic Chaplygin sleigh

We consider the motion of rigid bodies in a potential fluid subject to certain nonholonomic constraints and show that it is described by Euler-Poincare-Suslov equations. In the two-dimensional case, when the constraint is realized by a blade attached to th ...
