The motion of a Lagrange top, the suspension point of which performs vertical harmonic oscillations of arbitrary frequency and amplitude, is considered. The particular motion where the top rotates about a vertically positioned axis of symmetry at a constant angular velocity (a "sleeping" top) is inv

The motion of a spherical pendulum whose point of suspension performs high-frequency vertical harmonic oscillations of small amplitude is investigated. It is shown that two types of motion of the pendulum exist when it performs high-frequency oscillations close to conical motions, for which the pend
The problem of stabilizing the upper vertical (inverted) position of a pendulum using vibration of the suspension point is considered. The periodic function describing the vibrations of the suspension point is assumed to be arbitrary but possessing small amplitudes, and slight viscous damping is tak
The motion of a rigid body in a uniform gravity field is investigated. One of the points of the body (the suspension point) performs specified small-amplitude high-frequency periodic or conditionally periodic oscillations (vibrations). The geometry of the body mass is arbitrary. An approximate syste
A deceptively simple difference equation is derived which approximately describes the motion of a small ball bouncing vertically on a massive sinusoidally vibrating plate. In the case of perfect elastic impacts, the equation reduces to the "standard mapping" which has been extensively studied by phy
