“…Mathematical models of fish-like swimming have attracted increasing attention in recent years [Ch,Ga,KMR,KM,KO,KR1,KR2,Lg,Sa,ST,Wu]. It is generally assumed that the shape of the body can be assigned as a function of time.…”
Abstract. Aim of this paper is to provide a survey of the theory of impulsive control of Lagrangian systems. It is assumed here that an external controller can determine the evolution of the system by directly prescribing the values of some of the coordinates. We begin by motivating the theory with a couple of elementary examples. Then we discuss the analytical form taken by the equations of motion, and their impulsive character. The following sections review various results found in the literature concerning the continuity of the control-to-trajectory map, the existence of optimal controls, and the asymptotic controllability to a reference state. In the last section we indicate a further application of the theory, to the control of deformable bodies immersed in a fluid.

“…В данной работе рассматривается задача об управляемом движении тела в жидкости только за счет изменения распределения масс внутри тела. Теоретическая возможность такого передвижения была показана в [18]. Затем в работах [7,13,17] приведен ряд примеров управления телом за счет перемещения внутри тела точечной массы.…”

“…Equations (1.4) have been extended [3] to the case of the three-dimensional motion of a variable body (when G = E(3)). [3]. In this case G is E(3) -the group of motions of Euclidean three-space, and Eqs (1.3)become Kirchhoff's system of equations…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
