Nonholonomic Constraint
A constraint imposed on the velocities or momenta of a system that is not integrable, meaning the constraint equation cannot be integrated into a constraint on position coordinates. A typical example is a disk rolling without slipping.
Timeline (last 90 days)
A nonholonomic constraint is a non-integrable constraint imposed on the system's velocities (or momenta), that is, a constraint equation that cannot be converted by integration into a constraint on the position coordinates.
For HNNs, nonholonomic constraints mean that both the definition of the generalized momenta and the Hamiltonian structure may require special handling.
