We consider a simple motivating example of a non-Hamiltonian dynamical system with time-dependent constraints obtained by imposing rheonomic non-integrable Bilimovich’s constraint on a freely rotating rigid body. Dynamics of this low-dimensional nonlinear nonautonomous dynamic system involves different kinds of stable and unstable attractors, quasi and strange attractors, compact and noncompact invariant attractive curves, etc. To study this cautionary example we apply the Poincaré map method to disambiguate and discover multiscale temporal dynamics, specifically the coarse-grained dynamics resulting from fast-scale nonlinear control via nonholonomic Bilimovich’s constraint.
