• Characterization of accessibility for affine connection control systems at some points with nonzero velocity 

  Barbero Liñán, María (2011)
  Conference lecture

  Affine connection control systems are mechanical control systems that model a wide range of real systems such as robotic legs, hovercrafts, planar rigid bodies, rolling pennies, snakeboards and so on. In 1997 the accessibility ...

  The k-cosymplectic formalism is the generalization to field theories of the cosymplectic formalism, which is the geometric framework for describing non-autonomous dynamical systems. In [5], A. Weinstein introduced a new ...

  Optimal control problems for affine connection control systems: characterization of extremals 

  Barbero Liñán, María; Muñoz Lecanda, Miguel Carlos (American Institute of Physics, 2008-02)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  Pontryagin’s Maximum Principle [8] is considered as an outstanding achievement of optimal control theory. This Principle does not give sufficient conditions to compute an optimal trajectory; it only provides necessary ...
