About the project
The mathematics of constrained motion
We propose a year-long program at CAS for 2027/2028 on the mathematical study of constrained systems. While holonomic constraints are locally indistinguishable from unconstrained systems, non-holonomic systems lead to rich analytic and geometric phenomena even locally.
Such systems are significant in applications, and they appear in many fields such as mechanics, geometry, differential equations, robotics and control theory. Our focus will be on developing new methods to solve open problems in this area and understanding how different techniques from analysis and geometry can work together. This will be a collaborative and interdisciplinary project, bringing together researchers from various fields.
