    Dynamics of the Tippe Top -- properties of numerical solutions versus the dynamical equations

    Full text link
    We study the relationship between numerical solutions for inverting Tippe Top and the structure of the dynamical equations. The numerical solutions confirm oscillatory behaviour of the inclination angle θ(t)\theta(t) for the symmetry axis of the Tippe Top. They also reveal further fine features of the dynamics of inverting solutions defining the time of inversion. These features are partially understood on the basis of the underlying dynamical equations

    Stationary problems for equation of the KdV type and dynamical rr-matrices.

    We study a quite general family of dynamical rr-matrices for an auxiliary loop algebra L(su(2)){\cal L}({su(2)}) related to restricted flows for equations of the KdV type. This underlying rr-matrix structure allows to reconstruct Lax representations and to find variables of separation for a wide set of the integrable natural Hamiltonian systems. As an example, we discuss the Henon-Heiles system and a quartic system of two degrees of freedom in detail.Comment: 25pp, LaTe

    Phase Space of Rolling Solutions of the Tippe Top

    No full text
    Equations of motion of an axially symmetric sphere rolling and sliding on a plane are usually taken as model of the tippe top. We study these equations in the nonsliding regime both in the vector notation and in the Euler angle variables when they admit three integrals of motion that are linear and quadratic in momenta. In the Euler angle variables (θ,φ,ψ) these integrals give separation equations that have the same structure as the equations of the Lagrange top. It makes it possible to describe the whole space of solutions by representing them in the space of parameters (D,λ,E) being constant values of the integrals of motion

    The Lax pairs for the Holt system

    Full text link
    By using non-canonical transformation between the Holt system and the Henon-Heiles system the Lax pairs for all the integrable cases of the Holt system are constructed from the known Lax representations for the Henon-Heiles system.Comment: 7 pages, LaTeX2e, a4.st

    Quasi-point separation of variables for the Henon-Heiles system and a system with quartic potential

    Full text link
    We examine the problem of integrability of two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems by means of separation of variables. The systematic approach to construction of the special non-pure coordinate separation of variables for certain natural two-dimensional Hamiltonians is presented. The relations with SUSY quantum mechanics are discussed.Comment: 11 pages, Late

    From bi-Hamiltonian geometry to separation of variables: stationary Harry-Dym and the KdV dressing chain

    Full text link
    Separability theory of one-Casimir Poisson pencils, written down in arbitrary coordinates, is presented. Separation of variables for stationary Harry-Dym and the KdV dressing chain illustrates the theory.Comment: LaTex 14 pages, Proceedings of the Special Session on Integrable Systems of the First Joint Meeting of the American Mathematical Society and the Hong Kong Mathematical Society, to appear in J.

    Dynamics of the Tippe Top via Routhian Reduction

    Full text link
    We consider a tippe top modeled as an eccentric sphere, spinning on a horizontal table and subject to a sliding friction. Ignoring translational effects, we show that the system is reducible using a Routhian reduction technique. The reduced system is a two dimensional system of second order differential equations, that allows an elegant and compact way to retrieve the classification of tippe tops in six groups as proposed in [1] according to the existence and stability type of the steady states.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, added reference. Typos corrected and a forgotten term in de linearized system is adde

    Separation of variables for the generalized Henon-Heiles system and system with quartic potential

    Full text link
    We consider two well-known integrable systems on the plane using the concept of natural Poisson bivectors on Riemaninan manifolds. Geometric approach to construction of variables of separation and separated relations for the generalized Henon-Heiles system and the generalized system with quartic potential is discussed in detail.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX with AMS font

    The nonabelian Liouville-Arnold integrability by quadratures problem: a symplectic approach

    Full text link
    A symplectic theory approach is devised for solving the problem of algebraic-analytical construction of integral submanifold imbeddings for integrable (via the nonabelian Liouville-Arnold theorem) Hamiltonian systems on canonically symplectic phase spaces
