Lie Group Action

We present a geometric approach to the study of singular switched linear systems, defining a Lie group action on the differentiable manifold consisting of the matrices defining their subsystems with orbits coinciding with equivalence classes under an equivalence relation which preserves reachability and derive miniversal (orthogonal) deformations of the system. We relate this with some new results on reachability of such systems.

AbstractLet X be a differentiable manifold endowed with a transitive action α: A×X→X of a Lie group A. Let K be a Lie group. Under suitable technical assumptions, we give explicit classification theorems, in terms of explicit finite dimensional quotients, of three classes of objects:equivalence classes of α-invariant K-connections on X α-invariant gauge classes of K-connections on X, andα-invariant isomorphism classes of pairs (Q,P) consisting of a holomorphic Kℂ-bundle Q → X and a K-reduction P of Q (when X has an α-invariant complex structure).

Let XM be a submanifold of a differentiable manifold XN (XM ? XN). If on XN a non-symmetric affine connection L is defined by coefficients Lijk ? Likj and on XM a non-symmetric basical tensor g(g?? ? g??) is given, in the present paper we investigate the problem: Find a relation between induced connection L from LN into XM end the connection ??, defined by the tensor 1 in XM. The solutions is given in the Theorem 3.1., that is by the equation (3.9). Some examples are constructed.

Abstract Topological and vector space attributes of Euclidean space are consolidated from the mathematical literature and employed to create a differentiable manifold structure for holonomic multibody kinematics and dynamics. Using vector space properties of Euclidean space and multivariable calculus, a local kinematic parameterization is presented that establishes the regular configuration space of a multibody system as a differentiable manifold. Topological properties of Euclidean space show that this manifold is naturally partitioned into disjoint, maximal, path connected, singularity free domains of kinematic and dynamic functionality. Using the manifold parameterization, the d'Alembert variational equations of multibody dynamics yield well-posed ordinary differential equations of motion on these domains, without introducing Lagrange multipliers. Solutions of the differential equations satisfy configuration, velocity, and acceleration constraint equations and the variational equations of dynamics, i.e., multibody kinematics and dynamics are embedded in these ordinary differential equations. Two examples, one planar and one spatial, are treated using the formulation presented. Solutions obtained are shown to satisfy all three forms of kinematic constraint to within specified error tolerances, using fourth-order Runge–Kutta numerical integration methods.

In the papers [11] and [18] Rohlin and Thom have introduced an equivalence relation into the set of compact orientable (not necessarily connected) differentiable manifolds, which, roughly speaking, is described in the following manner: two differentiable manifolds are equivalent (cobordantes), when they together form the boundary of a bounded differentiable manifold. The equivalence classes can be added and multiplied in a natural way and form a graded algebra Ω relative to the addition, the multiplication and the dimension of manifolds. The precise structures of the groups of cobordism Ωk of dimension k are not known thoroughly. Thom [18] has determined the free part of Ω and also calculated explicitly Ωk for 0 ≦ k ≦ 7.

The object of this paper is to establish a simple connection between Thorn's theory of cobounding manifolds and the theory of modifications. The former theory is given in detail in (8) and sketched in (3), while the latter is worked out in (1). In particular in (1) it is shown that the only modifications which can transform one differentiable manifold into another are what I call below spherical modifications, which consist in taking out a sphere from the given manifold and replacing it by another. The main result is that manifolds cobound if and only if each is obtainable from the other by a finite sequence of spherical modifications.The technique consists in approximating the manifolds by pieces of algebraic varieties. Thus if M1 and M2 form the boundary of M, the last is taken to be part of an algebraic variety such that M1 and M2 are two members of a pencil of hyperplane sections.

A systematic theoretical approach is presented first, in an effort to provide a complete and illuminating study on motion of a rigid body rotating about a fixed point. Since the configuration space of this motion is a differentiable manifold possessing group properties, this approach is based on some fundamental concepts of differential geometry. A key idea is the introduction of a canonical connection, matching the manifold and group properties of the configuration space. Next, following the selection of an appropriate metric, the dynamics is also carried over. The present approach is theoretically more demanding than the traditional treatments but brings substantial benefits. In particular, an elegant interpretation can be provided for all the quantities with fundamental importance in rigid body motion. It also leads to a correction of some misconceptions and geometrical inconsistencies in the field. Finally, it provides powerful insight and a strong basis for the development of efficient numerical techniques in problems involving large rotations. This is demonstrated by an example, including the basic characteristics of the class of systems examined.

Free Form Surfaces

A theoretical approach to construct free form surfaces is presented. We develop the concepts that arise when a free form surface is generated by tracing a mesh, using differentiable manifold theory, and generalizing the B-spline scheme. This approach allows us to define a family of practical schemes. Four different applications of the generic approach are also presented in this paper.
