In the first part, this article presents an overview of Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC)
methodologies developed for space manipulators to perform in-orbit robotic missions …

In this historical review we describe in detail the main stages of the development of
nonholonomic mechanics starting from the work of Earnshaw and Ferrers to the monograph …

In this paper, we apply the geometric Hamilton–Jacobi theory to obtain solutions of classical
hamiltonian systems that are either compatible with a cosymplectic or a contact structure. As …

In this paper, we study the integrability of contact Hamiltonian systems, both time-dependent
and independent. In order to do so, we construct a Hamilton–Jacobi theory for these 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 Ševera …

In this paper we investigate two systems consisting of a spherical shell rolling without
slipping on a plane and a moving rigid body fixed inside the shell by means of two different …

In this paper, we develop a Hamilton–Jacobi theory for forced Hamiltonian and Lagrangian
systems. We study the complete solutions, particularize for Rayleigh systems, and present …

We develop a discrete analogue of Hamilton–Jacobi theory in the framework of discrete
Hamiltonian mechanics. The resulting discrete Hamilton–Jacobi equation is discrete only in …

In this paper, we develop the theoretical foundations of discrete Dirac mechanics, that is,
discrete mechanics of degenerate Lagrangian/Hamiltonian systems with constraints. We first …

Contact Hamiltonian systems are a generalization of the Hamiltonian systems of classical
mechanics. The action is added as an extra variable in phase space, and symplectic …
