Abstract: An approach is presented for automatically generating a linearized dynamical model which is derived from a nonlinear model in the constrained Lagrangian form. Since the corresponding eigenvalue ...

Abstract: Problems of optimal design of mechanisms are formulated in a state space setting that allows treatment of general design objectives and constraints. A constrained multi-element technique is ...

Abstract: In 1970, Pshenichny published a linearization method for nonlinear programming in Russian, which has been overlooked in the English literature. The method is essentially a recursive quadratic ...
