A spatial impedance controller for robotic manipulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1997
Mechanical impedance is the dynamic generalization of stiffness, and determines interactive behavior by definition. Although the argument for explicitly controlling impedance is strong, impedance control has had only a modest impact on robotic ...

CONFORMAL INFINITESIMAL TRANSFORMATIONS IN AN ALMOST r-CONTACT HYPERBOLIC PRODUCT MANIFOLD

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 1986
The authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for a vector field to be an infinitesimal conformal transformation in an almost r-contact hyperbolic manifold defined by \textit{K. K. Dube} and \textit{R. Niwas} [Demonstr. Math. 11, 887-897 (1978; Zbl 0402.53020)].

Symmetries and pre-metric electromagnetism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The equations of pre-metric electromagnetism are formulated as an exterior differential system on the bundle of exterior differential 2-forms over the spacetime manifold.

Infinitesimal contact transformations and their applications to abstract growth patterns [PDF]

open access: yesQuarterly of Applied Mathematics, 1980
Several abstract mathematical models of two-dimensional objects or “organisms” are introduced. The objects are abstractions, created by the combination of pattern-theoretic generators. They are deformed by what are shown to be infinitesimal contact transformations.

Variational Theory of Balance Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this work we apply the Poincare-Cartan formalism of the Classical Field Theory to study the systems of balance equations (balance systems). We introduce the partial k-jet bundles of the configurational bundle and study their basic properties: partial ...

Anomalies and WZW-term of two-flavour QCD [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
The U(2)_R x U(2)_L symmetry of QCD with two massless flavours is subject to anomalies which affect correlation functions involving the singlet currents A^0_\mu or V^0_\mu. These are relevant for pion-photon interactions, because - for two flavours - the

New Symbolic Tools for Differential Geometry, Gravitation, and Field Theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
DifferentialGeometry is a Maple software package which symbolically performs fundamental operations of calculus on manifolds, differential geometry, tensor calculus, Lie algebras, Lie groups, transformation groups, jet spaces, and the variational ...

Invariants of pseudogroup actions: Homological methods and Finiteness theorem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
We study the equivalence problem of submanifolds with respect to a transitive pseudogroup action. The corresponding differential invariants are determined via formal theory and lead to the notions of k-variants and k-covariants, even in the case of non ...

Hidden Symmetries of the Principal Chiral Model Unveiled [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
By relating the two-dimensional U(N) Principal Chiral Model to a simple linear system we obtain a free-field parametrisation of solutions. Obvious symmetry transformations on the free-field data give symmetries of the model. In this way all known `hidden
