This paper studies the construction of geometric integrators for nonholonomic systems. We derive the nonholonomic discrete Euler-Lagrange equations in a setting which permits to de...

— Standard methods to model multibody systems are aimed at systems with configuration spaces isomorphic to Rn . This limitation leads to singularities and other artifacts in cas...
Abstract— This paper addresses the optimal control of nonholonomic systems through provably correct discretization of the system dynamics. The essence of the approach lies in the...
The aim of this paper is twofold. On one hand we present an approach to the general problem of nonlinear control in the framework of (differentiable) groupoids, which, in our opin...
