Lagrange-d'alembert integrators

A Lagrange--d'Alembert integrator is a geometric numerical method for finding numerical solutions to the Lagrange--d'Alembert equations for mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints that are linear in the velocities. The integrator is developed from geometry and principles that are...
