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
Mathematical models for the self-propulsion of articulated bodies in fluids at low Reynolds number can be interpreted geometrically in terms of connections in principal bundles. Visualization of the local curvature of a connection in this context ...

Description
Viscous phenomena can be used to aid in the locomotion and control of robotic systems. With the aid of Lagrangian reduction techniques, it is shown that dissipation can be used to model nonholonomic, holonomic, and kinematically constrained system...
