Abstract:
The problem of the motion of a dynamically and geometrically symmetric heavy ellipsoid on a smooth horizontal plane is investigated. The problem is integrable and can be considered a generalization of the problem of motion of a heavy rigid body with fixed point in the Lagrangian case. The Smale bifurcation diagrams are constructed. Surgeries of tori are investigated using methods developed by Fomenko and his students.
Bibliography: 9 titles.
