A Discretization of the Nonholonomic Chaplygin Sphere Problem

The celebrated problem of a non-homogeneous sphere rolling over a horizontal plane was proved to be integrable and was reduced to quadratures by Chaplygin. Applying the formalism of variational integrators (discrete Lagrangian systems) with nonholonomic constraints and introducing suitable discrete...
