In this paper we explore the nonholonomic Lagrangian setting of mechanical systems in coordinates on finite-dimensional configuration manifolds. We prove existence and uniqueness of solutions by reducing the basic equations of motion to a set of ordinary differential equations on the underlying distribution manifold $D$. Moreover, we show that any $D-$preserving discretization may be understood as being generated by the exact evolution map of a time-periodic non-autonomous perturbation of the original continuous-time nonholonomic system. By means of discretizing the corresponding Lagrange-d'Alembert principle, we construct geometric integrators for the original nonholonomic system. We give precise conditions under which these integrators generate a discrete flow preserving the distribution $D$. Also, we derive corresponding consistency estimates. Finally, we carefully treat the example of the nonholonomic particle, showing how to discretize the equations of motion in a reasonable way, particularly regarding the nonholonomic constraints.
Keywords: discrete variational calculus, Nonholonomic mechanics, geometric integration, differential algebraic equations., ordinary differential equations, discretization as perturbation.
