Integrable Systems with Variable Dissipation on the Tangent Bundle of a Sphere

Abstract

Many problems of multidimensional dynamics involve systems for which the spaces of states are spheres of finite dimension and the spaces of phases are the tangent bundles of such spheres. We study conservative systems and present nonconservative force fields such that the systems involving such forces possess a complete collection of first integrals that are expressed through a finite combination of elementary functions and, in general, are transcendental functions of their variables.
