Circular orbits of a ball on a rotating conical turntable

This paper is concerned with the study of the rolling without slipping of a dynamically symmetric (in particular, homogeneous) heavy ball on a cone which rotates uniformly about its symmetry axis. The equations of motion of the system are obtained, partial periodic solutions are found and their stability is analyzed.

Dynamics of the Chaplygin ball on a rotating plane

This paper addresses the problem of the Chaplygin ball rolling on a horizontal plane which rotates with constant angular velocity. In this case, the equations of motion admit area integrals, an integral of squared angular momentum and the Jacobi integral, which is a generalization of the energy integral, and possess an invariant measure. After reduction the problem reduces to investigating a three-dimensional Poincare map that preserves phase volume (with density defined by the invariant measure). We show that in the general case the system's dynamics is chaotic.

Fermi-like acceleration and power-law energy growth in nonholonomic systems

This paper is concerned with a nonholonomic system with parametric excitation - the Chaplygin sleigh with time-varying mass distribution. A detailed analysis is made of the problem of the existence of regimes with unbounded growth of energy (an analogue of Fermi's acceleration) in the case where excitation is achieved by means of a rotor with variable angular momentum. The existence of trajectories for which the translational velocity of the sleigh increases indefinitely and has the asymptotics $τ^{\frac{1}{3}}$ is proved. In addition, it is shown that, when viscous friction with a nondegenerate Rayleigh function is added, unbounded speed-up disappears and the trajectories of the reduced system asymptotically tend to a limit cycle.

The Hess-Appelrot system and its nonholonomic analogs

This paper is concerned with the nonholonomic Suslov problem and its generalization proposed by Chaplygin. The issue of the existence of an invariant measure with singular density (having singularities at some points of phase space) is discussed.

Generalizations of the Kovalevskaya case and quaternions

This paper provides a detailed description of various reduction schemes in rigid body dynamics. Analysis of one of such nontrivial reductions makes it possible to order the cases already found and to obtain new generalizations of the Kovalevskaya case to e(3). We note that the above reduction allows one to obtain in a natural way some singular additive terms which were proposed earlier by D.N. Goryachev.

The Hojman Construction and Hamiltonization of Nonholonomic Systems

In this paper, using the Hojman construction, we give examples of various Poisson brackets which differ from those which are usually analyzed in Hamiltonian mechanics. They possess a nonmaximal rank, and in the general case an invariant measure and Casimir functions can be globally absent for them.

Hamiltonization of Elementary Nonholonomic Systems

In this paper, we develop the Chaplygin reducing multiplier method; using this method, we obtain a conformally Hamiltonian representation for three nonholonomic systems, namely, for the nonholonomic oscillator, for the Heisenberg system, and for the Chaplygin sleigh. Furthermore, in the case of an oscillator and the nonholonomic Chaplygin sleigh, we show that the problem reduces to the study of motion of a mass point (in a potential field) on a plane and, in the case of the Heisenberg system, on the sphere. Moreover, we consider an example of a nonholonomic system (suggested by Blackall) to which one cannot apply the reducing multiplier method.

Figures of equilibrium of an inhomogeneous self-gravitating fluid

This paper is concerned with the figures of equilibrium of a self-gravitating ideal fluid with density stratification and a steady-state velocity field. As in the classical setting, it is assumed that the figures or their layers uniformly rotate about an axis fixed in space.

Geometrisation of Chaplygin's reducing multiplier theorem

We develop the reducing multiplier theory for a special class of nonholonomic dynamical systems and show that the non-linear Poisson brackets naturally obtained in the framework of this approach are all isomorphic to the Lie-Poisson $e(3)$-bracket. As two model examples, we consider the Chaplygin ball problem on the plane and the Veselova system. In particular, we obtain an integrable gyrostatic generalisation of the Veselova system.

Interaction between Kirchhoff vortices and point vortices in an ideal fluid

We consider the interaction of two vortex patches (elliptic Kirchhoff vortices) which move in an unbounded volume of an ideal incompressible fluid. A moment second-order model is used to describe the interaction. The case of integrability of a Kirchhoff vortex and a point vortex by the variable separation method is qualitatively analyzed. A new case of integrability of two Kirchhoff vortices is found. A reduced form of equations for two Kirchhoff vortices is proposed and used to analyze their regular and chaotic behavior.

Motion of vortex sources on a plane and a sphere

The Equations of motion of vortex sources (examined earlier by Fridman and Polubarinova) are studied, and the problems of their being Hamiltonian and integrable are discussed. A system of two vortex sources and three sources-sinks was examined. Their behavior was found to be regular. Qualitative analysis of this system was made, and the class of Liouville integrable systems is considered. Particular solutions analogous to the homothetic configurations in celestial mechanics are given.

The restricted two-body problem in constant curvature spaces

We perform the bifurcation analysis of the Kepler problem on $S^3$ and $L^3$. An analogue of the Delaunay variables is introduced. We investigate the motion of a point mass in the field of the Newtonian center moving along a geodesic on $S^2$ and $L^2$ (the restricted two-body problem). When the curvature is small, the pericenter shift is computed using the perturbation theory. We also present the results of the numerical analysis based on the analogy with the motion of rigid body.
