The three-body problem / Mauri Valtonen and Hannu Karttunen.
Valtonen, M. J. (Mauri J.), 1945-| Call Number | 521 |
| Author | Valtonen, M. J. 1945- author. |
| Title | The three-body problem / Mauri Valtonen and Hannu Karttunen. |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (x, 345 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). |
| Contents | Astrophysics and the three-body problem -- Newtonian mechanics -- The two-body problem -- Hamiltonian mechanics -- The planar restricted circular three-body problem and other special cases -- Three-body scattering -- Escape in the general three-body problem -- Scattering and capture in the general problem -- Perturbations in hierarchical systems -- Perturbations in strong three-body encounters -- Some astrophysical problems. |
| Summary | How do three celestial bodies move under their mutual gravitational attraction? This problem has been studied by Isaac Newton and leading mathematicians over the last two centuries. Poincaré's conclusion, that the problem represents an example of chaos in nature, opens the new possibility of using a statistical approach. For the first time this book presents these methods in a systematic way, surveying statistical as well as more traditional methods. The book begins by providing an introduction to celestial mechanics, including Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods, and both the two and restricted three body problems. It then surveys statistical and perturbation methods for the solution of the general three body problem, providing solutions based on combining orbit calculations with semi-analytic methods for the first time. This book should be essential reading for students in this rapidly expanding field and is suitable for students of celestial mechanics at advanced undergraduate and graduate level. |
