Abstract
We consider the motion of a particle acted on by dry friction and a force that is an analytic function of time. We give a counterexample to the claim that such motions are given by analytic functions of time. Several published arguments concerning existence and uniqueness in unilateral dynamics with friction rely on the analyticity of such motions. The counterexample invalidates those arguments for motions in three or more dimensions.
期刊介绍:
M2AN publishes original research papers of high scientific quality in two areas: Mathematical Modelling, and Numerical Analysis. Mathematical Modelling comprises the development and study of a mathematical formulation of a problem. Numerical Analysis comprises the formulation and study of a numerical approximation or solution approach to a mathematically formulated problem.
Papers should be of interest to researchers and practitioners that value both rigorous theoretical analysis and solid evidence of computational relevance.
