Abstract
It is shown that Newtonian mechanics is not appropriate to compute approximate individual trajectories with small velocities in chaotic scattering. However, some global properties of the dynamical system, such as the dimension of the non-attracting chaotic invariant set, are more robust and the Newtonian approximation provides reasonably accurate results for them in slow chaotic scattering.
