摘要

In this paper, we present a collection of infinite-dimensional systems with nonholonomic constraints. In finite dimensions, the two essentially different types of dynamics, nonholonomic or vakonomic ones, are known to be obtained by taking certain limits of holonomic systems with Rayleigh dissipation, as in Kozlov (1983). We visualize this phenomenon for the classical example of a skate on an inclined plane. The infinite-dimensional examples of nonholonomic and vakonomic systems revisited in the paper include subriemannian and Euler–Poincaré–Suslov systems on Lie groups, the Heisenberg chain, the general Camassa–Holm equation, infinite-dimensional geometry of a nonholonomic Moser theorem, subriemannian approximations of an ideal hydrodynamics, parity-breaking nonholonomic fluids, and potential solutions to Burgers-type equations arising in optimal mass transport. Finally, we return to a higher-dimensional analogue of the skate, the kinematics of a car with n trailers, as well as its limit as \(n\rightarrow \infty \) n → ∞ . We show that its infinite-dimensional version is a snakelike motion of the Chaplygin sleigh with a string, and it is subordinated to an infinite-dimensional Goursat distribution.
