This is a translation from Latin of E840 'De motu cometarum in orbitis parabolicis, solem in foco habentibus', in which Euler addresses six problems related to comets in heliocentric parabolic orbits. Problem 1: Find the true anomaly of a…
Symbolic dynamics for homoclinic orbits in the two-dimensional symmetric map, $x_{n+1}+cx_{n}+x_{n-1}=3x_{n}^3$, is discussed. Above a critical $c^{\ast}$, the system exhibits a fully-developed horse-shoe so that its global behavior is…
