Abstract:

A method is presented for reducing a smooth system linear in the control on an n-dimensional manifold M to a nonlinear system on an (n - 1)-dimensional manifold. This reduction is used to obtain sufficient conditions for a high order of local controllability of the system, and the problem of a time-optimal control of the angular momentum of a rotating rigid body is investigated.
