Constant Orbital Momentum Equilibrium Trajectories of a Gyrostat-Satellite
… maneuvers of a gyrosat-satellite between relative equilibria. The primary challenge in transitioning between relative equilibria is the proper adjustment of the system angular momentum so that upon completing the transition maneuver the gyrostat-satellite will satisfy all the requirements …

Equivariant dynamics and categories of equivariant vector fields
… the dynamics of equivariant vector fields near relative equilibria. To overcome the lack of linearization at a relative equilibrium or the possible non-smoothness of the orbit space, we categorify the space of equivariant vector fields. A category where the objects are equivariant vector fields …

Robust hybrid control for autonomous vehicle motion planning
… systems which admit dynamic symmetries and relative equilibria. No other assumptions are made on the dynamics, thus resulting in exact motion planning techniques of general applicability. Building on a relatively expensive off-line computation phase, we provide algorithms viable for …

Equilibria of a Gyrostat with a Discrete Damper
We investigate the relative equilibria of a gyrostat with a spring-mass-dashpot damper to gain new insights into the dynamics of spin-stabilized satellites. The equations of motion are developed using a Newton-Euler approach, resulting in equations in terms of system momenta and damper variables. …

A matrix-free numerical bifurcation method applied to sheared annular electroconvection
We investigate the flow transitions in sheared annular electroconvection using matrix-free numerical bifurcation methods. In particular, we study a model that simulates a liquid crystal film in the Smectic A phase suspended between two annular electrodes, and subjected to an electric potential …
