Mechanics of non-holonomic systems A New Class of control systems

From the reviews:

“‘This monograph can be useful for English scientists. It will help them to get acquainted with a rather great number of works by Russian scientists.’ … the book gives an exhaustive account of many theoretical results and applications on non-holonomic mechanics, which often had little circulation in the literature; in this respect, the historical overview of the subject, with an emphasis on the contribution by the Russian school, is interesting. … Many applications are discussed in detail using different approaches … .” (Carlo Morosi, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 j)
