The classical Hamilton equations of motion yield a structure sufficiently general to handle an almost arbitrary set of ordinary differential equations. Employing elementary algebraic methods, it is possible within the Hamiltonian structure…
A 3D-dynamical model is constructed for the study of motion in the central regions of a disk galaxy with a double nucleus. Using the results of the 2D-model, we find the regions of initial conditions in the (x,px,z,py)=EJ, (y=pz=0) phase…
The primary focus of this thesis is the numerical investigation of chaos in Hamiltonian models describing charged particle orbits in plasma, star motions in barred galaxies, and orbits' diffusion in multidimensional maps. We systematically…
We compute the normal forms for the Hamiltonian leading to the epicyclic approximations of the (perturbed) Kepler problem in the plane. The Hamiltonian setting corresponds to the dynamics in the Hill synodic system where, by means of the…
We investigate the detailed dynamics of multidimensional Hamiltonian systems by studying the evolution of volume elements formed by unit deviation vectors about their orbits. The behavior of these volumes is strongly influenced by the…
We present here a new method which applies well ordered symbolic dynamics to find unstable periodic and non-periodic orbits in a chaotic system. The method is simple and efficient and has been successfully applied to a number of different…
We examine the escape from the four hill potential by using the method of grid classification, when polar coordinates are used for expressing the initial conditions of the orbits. In particular, we investigate how the energy of the orbits…

The ordered or chaotic character of orbits of stars moving in the meridional $(R,z)$ plane of an analytic axisymmetric time-independent disk galaxy model with an additional spherically symmetric central nucleus is investigated. Our aim is…
We apply the Smaller ALignment Index (SALI) method to a 4--dimensional mapping of accelerator dynamics in order to distinguish rapidly, reliably and accurately between ordered and chaotic motion. The main advantage of this index is that it…
The dominantly orbital state method allows a semiclassical description of quantum systems. At the origin, it was developed for two-body relativistic systems. Here, the method is extended to treat two-body Hamiltonians and systems with three…
Semiclassical methods have been applied very successfully to describe the nontrivial transition from the quantum to the classical regime in $\textit{single}$-particle or at least $\textit{few}$-particle systems. Challenges on the way to an…
The process of phase separation of binary systems is described by the Cahn-Hilliard equation. The main objective of this article is to give a classification on the dynamic phase transitions for binary systems using either the classical…
While orbital analysis studies were so far mainly focused on the Galactic halo, it is possible now to do these studies in the heavily obscured region close to the Galactic Centre. We aim to do a detailed orbital analysis of stars located in…
In the last years, a growing number of challenging applications in navigation, logistics, and tourism were modeled as orienteering problems. This problem has been proposed in relation to a sport race where certain control points must be…
In a realistic scenario, the evolution of the rotational dynamics of a celestial or artificial body is subject to dissipative effects. Time-varying non-conservative forces can be due to, for example, a variation of the moments of inertia or…
We review the orbital stability of the planar circular restricted three-body problem, in the case of massless particles initially located between both massive bodies. We present new estimates of the resonance overlap criterion and the Hill…
We calculate the dynamical behaviour of a hole in various spin backgrounds in infinite dimensions, where it can be determined exactly. We consider hypercubic lattices with two different types of spin backgrounds. On one hand we study an…
We show that a large class of physical theories which has been under intensive investigation recently, share the same geometric features in their Hamiltonian formulation. These dynamical systems range from harmonic oscillations to WZW-like…
Classical trajectories are calculated for two Hamiltonian systems with ring shaped potentials. Both systems are super-integrable, but not maximally super-integrable, having four globally defined single valued integrals of motion each. All…
