On Control of Motion of a Parametric Pendulum

The paper is devoted to a passive control problem. The problem of control of plane motions of a two-mass parametric pendulum in a uniform gravitational field is considered. The problem is important for and necessary in software design of automated systems for control of mechanisms. In particular, it can be applied to various modeling problems of pendulum motions of mechanical systems. The pendulum is modeled by two equivalent weightless rods with two equivalent point masses moving along the circle centered at the pivot.
