Maximal Multiplicity Method for Optimal Damping Problem

Maxim Arnold, Oleg Gendelman, Vadim Zharnitsky

We study the problem of designing optimal damping for a system of coupled linear oscillators. Using the Weyl--Horn theorem, we construct an explicit damping matrix that realize…

Critical damping in linear system with two degrees of freedom: surprises and pitfalls

Maxim D. Arnold, Oleg V. Gendelman, Vadim Zharnitsky

In this Brief Communication, we establish the notion of critical damping for generic two-degree-of-freedom system. For given set of masses and stiffnesses, the critical damping cor…

On projective evolutes of polygons

Maxim Arnold, Richard Evan Schwartz, Serge Tabachnikov

The evolute of a curve is the envelope of its normals. In this note we consider a projectively natural discrete analog of this construction: we define projective perpendicular bise…

Topological invariants of sorting networks

Maxim Arnold, Christian Kondor

In this note we investigate finite-type invariants of the pure braids arising from signed sorting networks.

Remarks on Joachimsthal integral and Poritsky property

Maxim Arnold, Serge Tabachnikov

The billiard in an ellipse has an integral linear in momentum, the Joachimsthal integral. We show that the existence of such an integral characterizes conics. We extend this result…

Cross-ratio dynamics on ideal polygons

Maxim Arnold, Dmitry Fuchs, Ivan Izmestiev +1

Two ideal polygons, and , in the hyperbolic plane or in hyperbolic space are said to be -related if the cross-ratio $[p_i,p_{i+1},q_i,q_{i+1…
