Description
Chaotic systems are a class of nonlinear dynamical systems that have captured the attention of mathematicians and engineers for long. Even though chaotic systems are deterministic in nature, long term prediction of behavior of such systems is diff...

Description
This dissertation introduces new models for the locomotion and control of mechanical and hydrodynamic systems that exhibit symmetry, constraints, and control. I introduce the class of unbalanced Chaplygin control systems and analyze the dynamics a...
