Abstract

From the symplectic representation of an autonomous nonlinear dynamical system with holonomic constraints, i.e., those that can be represented through a symplectic form derived from a Hamiltonian, we present a new proof on the realization of the symplectic feedback action, which has several theoretical advantages in demonstrating the uniqueness and existence of this type of solution. Also, we propose a technique based on the interpretation, construction and characterization of the pull-back differential on the symplectic manifold as a member of a one-parameter Lie group. This allows one to synthesize the control law that governs a certain system to achieve a desired behavior; and the method developed from this is applied to a classical system such as the inverted pendulum.
