Symplectic integrators are widely used for the study of planetary dynamics and other $N$-body problems. In a study of the outer Solar system, we demonstrate that individual symplectic integrations can yield biased errors in the semi-major…
Minimal surfaces of general type in Euclidean 4-space are characterized with the conditions that the ellipse of curvature at any point is centered at this point and has two different principal axes. Any minimal surface of general type…

Most numerical models of binary stars - in particular neutron stars in compact binaries - assume the companions to be either corotational or irrotational. Either one of these assumptions leads to a significant simplification in the…
