We investigate particle trajectories in equatorial flows with geophysical corrections caused by the earth's rotation. Particle trajectories in the flows are constructed using pairs of analytic functions defined over the labelling space used…
An elliptic divisibility sequence is an integer recurrence sequence associated to an elliptic curve over the rationals together with a rational point on that curve. In this paper we present a higher-dimensional analogue over arbitrary base…
The algorithms given in Karney, J. Geodesy 87, 43-55 (2013), to compute geodesics on terrestrial ellipsoids are extended to apply to ellipsoids of revolution with arbitrary eccentricity. For the direct and inverse geodesic problems, this…
Sequence rotation consists of a circular shift of the sequence's elements by a given number of positions. We present the four classic algorithms to rotate a sequence; the loop invariants underlying their correctness; detailed correctness…
The mathematical pendulum is traditionally solved using a Jacobi elliptic functions. We solve it here using the Weierstrass elliptic function. Every initial condition of the pendulum produces an elliptic curve and a point which by the…
Manipulability analysis is a methodology employed to assess the capacity of an articulated system, at a specific configuration, to produce motion or exert force in diverse directions. The conventional method entails generating a virtual…
Poncelet maps are circle maps constructed geometrically for a pair of nested ellipses; they are related to the classic billiard map on an elliptical domain when the orbit has an elliptical caustic. Here we show how the rotation number of…
The orbit method is used to describe the centre of mass motion of the system of particles with fixed charge to mass ratio moving in homogeneous magnetic field and confined by harmonic potential. The nonlinear action of symmetry group on…
An effective estimate for the lattice point discrepancy of ellipsoids of rotation. This paper provides an explicit bound, with numerical constants, for the lattice point discrepancy (= number of integer points minus volume) of an ellipsoid…
We study the dynamics of two bodies moving on elliptic Keplerian orbits around a fixed center of attraction and interacting only by means of elastic or inelastic collisions. We show that there exists a bounded invariant region: for suitable…
This work explores the behaviour of demagnetizing tensors for general ellipsoids under arbitrary rotations in homogeneous magnetic fields. The work is motivated by the concerns in magnetic resonance imaging safety and their practical…
We obtain the distance of closest approach of the surfaces of two arbitrary ellipsoids valid at any orientation and separation, measured along their inter-center vector. This directional distance is derived from the Elliptic Contact…
Exact solutions are found for Euler's equations of rigid body motion for general asymmetrical bodies under the influence of torque by using Jacobi elliptic functions. Differential equations are determined for the amplitudes and the…
The higher rank numerical range is a concept that generalizes the classical numerical range, and it has application in quantum error correction. We investigate these sets for $2$-by-$2$ block matrices with associated Kippenhahn curves…
Symplectic mappings are discrete-time analogs of Hamiltonian systems. They appear in many areas of physics, including, for example, accelerators, plasma, and fluids. Integrable mappings, a subclass of symplectic mappings, are equivalent to…
The Mercator projection is sometimes confused with another mapping technique, specifically the central cylindrical projection, which projects the Earth's surface onto a cylinder tangent to the equator, as if a light source is at the Earth's…
In this paper, we study the recently defined notion of the inverse along an element. An existence criterion for the inverse along a product is given in a ring. As applications, we present the equivalent conditions for the existence and…
A small variation of the circular shape of the hodograph theorem states that for every elliptical solution of the two-body problem, it is possible to find an appropriate inertial frame such that the speed of the bodies is constant. We use…
Rotations on the 3-dimensional Euclidean vector-space can be represented by real quaternions, as was shown by Hamilton. Introducing complex quaternions allows us to extend the result to elliptic and hyperbolic rotations on the Minkowski…
Each elliptic curve can be embedded uniquely in the projective plane, up to projective equivalence. The hessian curve of the embedding is generically a new elliptic curve, whose isomorphism type depends only on that of the initial elliptic…
