Dear dynamic system theorists :-),
Where can I find the differential equations describing
the behaviour of a double pendulum?
Is it possible to construct these given only
configuration anf mass of each link. How about tripple,
quadruple pendulums? How about general articulated
objects?
Any help will be appreciated.
Richard.

I'm not dynamicist, but I am unsure what you mean by a "double pendulum"; I can think of many physical systems that contain two pendulums. Would you describe it in more detail, if only for me? -- Rich -- ``Read my MIPS -- no new VAXes!!'' -- George Bush after sniffing freon Disclaimer: I speak for myself, except as noted.

the double pendulum is a classical problem in dynamics. any book on the subject will have the development of the associated equations of motion. (e.g. Goldstein; Meirovitch). Besides the equations of motion are not hard to derive. Books on multibody dynamics would have the development for the multi-pendulum. R.G.
