A naive extension to MOND of the standard computation of the two-body relaxation time Tb implies that Tb is comparable to the crossing time regardless of the number N of stars in the system. This computation is questionable in view of the…

The modality is important topic for modelling. Using parametric models is an efficient way when real data set shows trimodality. In this paper we propose a new class of trimodal probability distributions, that is, probability distributions…

We explore the predictions of Milgromian gravity (MOND) in the Local Universe by considering the distribution of the `phantom' dark matter (PDM) that would source the MOND gravitational field in Newtonian gravity, allowing an easy…

We determine a four-function generalization of the Plebanski spacetime, depending on three arbitrary functions of the radial coordinate, and one function on the angular coordinate. For the generalized Plebanski spacetime, we analyze the…

The modified newtonian dynamics (MOND) paradigm of Milgrom can boast of a number of successful predictions regarding galactic dynamics; these are made without the assumption that dark matter plays a significant role. MOND requires…
