> Abstract:
>  I will present some recent results on the analysis of two swimmer 
> models (one actuated externally and the other internally). These 
> models provide an example of propulsion at low Reynolds number 
> resulting from the periodical beating of a passive elastic filament. 
> Motions produced by generic periodic actuations are studied within the 
> regime of small compliance of the filament. The analysis shows that 
> variations in the velocity of beating can generate different swimming 
> trajectories. Motion control through modulations of the actuation 
> velocity will be discussed.
