Periodic orbits close to elliptic tori and applications to the three-body problem

Massimiliano Berti, Luca Biasco, Enrico Valdinoci (2004)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

Similarity:

We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy “twist” conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic invariant tori (of hamiltonian systems). We prove the applicability of this result to the spatial planetary three-body problem in the small eccentricity-inclination regime. Furthermore, we find other periodic orbits under some restrictions on the period...

Period function's convexity for Hamiltonian centers with separable variables

M. Sabatini (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

A convexity theorem for the period function T of Hamiltonian systems with separable variables is proved. We are interested in systems with non-monotone T. This result is applied to proving the uniqueness of critical orbits for second order ODE's.
