Nonholonomic Controlled Hamiltonian System: Symmetric Reduction and Hamilton-Jacobi Equations

In order to describe the impact of nonholonomic constraints for the dynamics of a regular controlled Hamiltonian (RCH) system, in this paper, for an RCH system with nonholonomic constraint, we first derive its distributional RCH system, by analyzing carefully the structure of dynamical vector field of the nonholonomic RCH system. Secondly, we derive precisely the geometric constraint conditions of the induced distributional two-form for the dynamical vector field of the distributional RCH system, which are called the Type I and Type II of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Thirdly, we generalize the above results for the nonholonomic reducible RCH system with symmetry, and prove two types of Hamilton-Jacobi theorems for the nonholonomic reduced distributional RCH system. Moreover, we consider the nonholonomic reducible RCH system with momentum map, by combining with the regular point and regular orbit reduction theory and the analysis of dynamics of RCH system, we give the geometric formulations of the nonholonomic regular point reduced and orbit reduced distributional RCH systems, and prove two types of Hamilton-Jacobi theorems for these reduced distributional RCH systems. These researches reveal the deeply internal relationships of the nonholonomic constraints, the induced (resp. reduced) distributional two-forms, the dynamical vector fields and controls of the nonholonomic RCH system and its (reduced) distributional RCH systems.
