Description for Stable and Random Motions in Dynamical Systems: With Special Emphasis on Celestial Mechanics (AM-77)
Paperback. Presents an account of two pillars of the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory: stable and chaotic behavior. This title discusses cases in which N-body motions are stable, covering topics such as Hamiltonian systems, the (Moser) twist theorem, and aspects of Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser theory. Series: Princeton Landmarks in Mathematics & Physics. Num Pages: 216 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBKJ; PHVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 155 x 234 x 14. Weight in Grams: 314.
For centuries, astronomers have been interested in the motions of the planets and in methods to calculate their orbits. Since Newton, mathematicians have been fascinated by the related N-body problem. They seek to find solutions to the equations of motion for N masspoints interacting with an inverse-square-law force and to determine whether there are quasi-periodic orbits or not. Attempts to answer such questions have led to the techniques of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory. In this book, a classic work of modern applied mathematics, Jurgen Moser presents a succinct account of two pillars of the theory: stable and chaotic behavior. ... Read more
