Anholonomic frames in constrained dynamics

We demonstrate the usefulness of anholonomic frames in the contexts of nonholonomic and vakonomic systems. We take a consistently differential-geometric approach. As an application, we investigate the conditions under which the dynamics of the two systems will be consistent. A few illustrative examples confirm the results.Comment: 33 pages, to appear in `Dynamical Systems. An international journal.

Generalized iterated wreath products of symmetric groups and generalized rooted trees correspondence

Consider the generalized iterated wreath product $S_{r_1}\wr \ldots \wr S_{r_k}$ of symmetric groups. We give a complete description of the traversal for the generalized iterated wreath product. We also prove an existence of a bijection between the equivalence classes of ordinary irreducible representations of the generalized iterated wreath product and orbits of labels on certain rooted trees. We find a recursion for the number of these labels and the degrees of irreducible representations of the generalized iterated wreath product. Finally, we give rough upper bound estimates for fast Fourier transforms.Comment: 18 pages, to appear in Advances in the Mathematical Sciences. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1409.060
