The n -centre problem of celestial mechanics for large energies

Andreas Knauf (2002)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We consider the classical three-dimensional motion in a potential which is the sum of n attracting or repelling Coulombic potentials. Assuming a non-collinear configuration of the n centres, we find a universal behaviour for all energies E above a positive threshold. Whereas for n = 1 there are no bounded orbits, and for n = 2 there is just one closed orbit, for n ≥ 3 the bounded orbits form a Cantor set. We analyze the symbolic dynamics and estimate Hausdorff dimension and topological entropy of this hyperbolic set....

The role of the patch test in 2D atomistic-to-continuum coupling methods∗

Christoph Ortner (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

For a general class of atomistic-to-continuum coupling methods, coupling multi-body interatomic potentials with a P1-finite element discretisation of Cauchy–Born nonlinear elasticity, this paper adresses the question whether patch test consistency (or, absence of ghost forces) implies a first-order error estimate. In two dimensions it is shown that this is indeed true under the following additional technical assumptions: (i) an energy consistency condition, (ii) locality of the interface correction,...

The shadowing chain lemma for singular Hamiltonian systems involving strong forces

Marek Izydorek, Joanna Janczewska (2012)

Open Mathematics

We consider a planar autonomous Hamiltonian system :q+∇V(q) = 0, where the potential V: ℝ2 {ζ→ ℝ has a single well of infinite depth at some point ζ and a strict global maximum 0at two distinct points a and b. Under a strong force condition around the singularity ζ we will prove a lemma on the existence and multiplicity of heteroclinic and homoclinic orbits - the shadowing chain lemma - via minimization of action integrals and using simple geometrical arguments.

The symmetry reduction of variational integrals

Václav Tryhuk, Veronika Chrastinová (2018)

Mathematica Bohemica

The Routh reduction of cyclic variables in the Lagrange function and the Jacobi-Maupertuis principle of constant energy systems are generalized. The article deals with one-dimensional variational integral subject to differential constraints, the Lagrange variational problem, that admits the Lie group of symmetries. Reduction to the orbit space is investigated in the absolute sense relieved of all accidental structures. In particular, the widest possible coordinate-free approach to the underdetermined...
