Abstract:Key words Lyapunov first method, nonholonomic system, singular constraints, instability of equilibrium.The Lyapunov first method generalized to the case of nonlinear differential equations is applied to the study of the instability of the equilibrium position of a mechanical system, whose motion is constrained by singular nonholonomic constraints. Starting from the results of S. D. Furta (On the instability of equilibrium position of constrained mechanical systems) three theorems on the instability are formula… Show more
