Abstract:The main contribution of this review is to show some relevant relationships between three geometric structures on a connected Lie group G, generated by the same dynamics. Namely, Linear Control Systems, Almost Riemannian Structures, and Degenerate Dynamical Systems. These notions are generated by two ordinary differential equations on G: linear and invariant vector fields. A linear vector field on G is determined by its flow, a 1-parameter group of Aut(G), the Lie group of G-automorphisms. An invariant vector … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
