Tulczyjew, W. M. Control of static mechanical systems. (English) Zbl 0553.93044 Dynamical systems and microphysics, control theory and mechanics, Proc. 3rd Int. Semin., Udine/Italy 1983, 359-377 (1984). [For the entire collection see Zbl 0547.00053.] Statics of mechanical systems is formulated in terms of the geometry of subsets of cotangent bundles of configuration manifolds. Reciprocal systems are represented by Lagrangian submanifolds. Coupling of static systems and control of static systems by external devices are discussed.
