This paper concentrates on optical Hamiltonian systems of $T*\T^n$, i.e. those for which $\Hpp$ is a positive definite matrix, and their relationship with symplectic twist maps. We present theorems of decomposition by symplectic twist maps…

We prove that Ma{\~n}{\'e} generic convex Hamiltonians have only non-degenerate periodic orbits on a given energy level. This result was stated, but not proved, in the literature.

This paper studies a class of $1\frac12$-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian systems with a slowly varying phase that unfolds a Hamiltonian pitchfork bifurcation. The main result of the paper is that there exists an order of…

Time-dependent potentials are common in galactic systems that undergo significant evolution, interactions, or encounters with other galaxies, or when there are dynamic processes like star formation and merging events. Recent studies show…

In a previous paper, using ergodic theory, Lo [1] derived a simple definite integral that provided an estimate of the view periods of ground stations to satellites. This assumes the satellites are in circular orbits with non-repeating…

We describe a simple algorithm for classifying orbits into orbit families. This algorithm works by finding patterns in the sign changes of the principal coordinates. Orbits in the logarithmic potential are studied as an application; we…

We consider stable periodic helixes as a generalization of stable periodic orbits. We see that in the studied class of iterated functions Chaos always arise suddenly. Therefore, we shall study the route from chaos to order rather than the…

We calculate numerically the periodic orbits of pseudointegrable systems of low genus numbers $g$ that arise from rectangular systems with one or two salient corners. From the periodic orbits, we calculate the spectral rigidity…

In spherical symmetry with radial coordinate $r$, classical Newtonian gravitation supports circular orbits and, for $-1/r$ and $r^2$ potentials only, closed elliptical orbits [1]. Various families of elliptical orbits can be thought of as…

This paper focuses on symmetric potentials subjected to periodic driving. Four unperturbed potentials V_0(r) were considered, namely the Plummer potential and Dehnen potentials with \gamma=0.0, 0.5, and 1.0, each subjected to a…

As a contribution to the inverse scattering problem for classical chaotic systems, we show that one can select sequences of intervals of continuity, each of which yields the information about period, eigenvalue and symmetry of one unstable…

Bautista and Morales proved the existence of periodic orbits in singular-hyperbolic attracting sets(*). In this paper, we extend their result to singular-hyperbolic Lyapunov stable sets. ((*)"Existence of periodic orbits for…

We prove the existence of an effective universal upper bound for the order of any integral periodic orbit of any integral algebraic dynamical system in a fixed ambient space. Using this, we demonstrate the decidability of periodicity in…

By varying a parameter of a one-dimensional piecewise smooth map, stable periodic orbits are observed. In this paper, complete analytic characterization of these stable periodic orbits is obtained. An interesting relationship between the…

A family of periodic orbits is proven to exist in the spatial lunar problem that are continuations of a family of consecutive collision orbits, perpendicular to the primary orbit plane. This family emanates from all but two energy values.…
