In this introduction to the few-body problem, a key figure in developing more efficient methods over the past few decades summarizes and explains them, covering both basic analytical formulations and numerical methods. Mikkola explains this methodology for graduate students and …
Using numerical integration, it is possible to predict the individual motions of a group of a few celestial objects interacting with each other gravitationally. In this introduction to the few-body problem, a key figure in developing more efficient methods over the past few deca…
"This book contains an exposition of the most important subjects in celestial mechanics that I have been working with. The book also includes some traditional material, which is necessary for anyone who wants to learn/study the gravitational few-body problem. Some basic subjects…
