We consider an open connected set $\Omega$ and a smooth potential $U$ which is positive in $\Omega$ and vanishes on $\partial\Omega$. We study the existence of orbits of the mechanical system \[ \ddot{u}=U_x(u), \] that connect different…

It is generally known that the orbital diamagnetism of a classical system of charged particles in thermal equilibrium is identically zero -- the Bohr-van Leeuwen theorem. Physically, this null result derives from the exact cancellation of…
The true- and eccentric-anomaly parametrizations of the Kepler motion are generalized to quasiperiodic orbits by considering perturbations of the radial part of kinetic energy as a series in the negative powers of the orbital radius. A…

A method is presented for determining the initial conditions of classical orbits from the quantum spectra of the diamagnetic hydrogen atom. Each classical trajectory which is closed at the nucleus produces a sinusoidal fluctuation in the…
We consider the geometric Titius-Bode rule for the semimajor axes of planetary orbits. We derive an equivalent rule for the midpoints of the segments between consecutive orbits along the radial direction and we interpret it physically in…
Newton's Theorem of Revolving Orbits derives the force that is necessary to explain a particular precession that leaves the shape of an orbit unchanged. Newton showed that for an orbiting body that is already subject to any central force,…
We show that the spectrum of orbital angular momentum in quantum mechanics consists of two parts when the underlying space has periodic boundaries. While the first part consists of the usual textbook integer quantized values, the second is…
We seek periodic trajectories of a system of multiple mutually repelling electrons on a half-line, with an attractive nucleus sitting at the origin. We adopt a variational viewpoint and study critical points of the associated…
We study the motion of a particle in a 3-dimensional lattice in the presence of a Coulomb potential, but we demonstrate semiclassicaly that the trajectories will always remain in a plane which can be taken as a rectangular lattice. The…
The motion of a neutral atom endowed with a magnetic moment interacting with the magnetic field is determined from the Ehrenfest-like equations of motion. These equations for the average values of the translational and spin degrees of…
We present results of numerical calculations showing a three-body orbit's period's $T$ dependence on its topology. This dependence is a simple linear one, when expressed in terms of appropriate variables, suggesting an exact mathematical…
Methods of angular momenta are modified and used to solve some actual problems in quantum mechanics. In particular, we re-derive some known formulas for analytical and numerical calculations of matrix elements of the vector physical…
We develop a complete relativistic theory to describe the dynamics of electronic angular momentum including both spin (S) and orbital (L) contributions in magnetic systems. We start with the relativistic Dirac-Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian under…
It has long been conjectured that generic dynamical systems has finite periodic orbits, ever since the time of Poincar\'e. In this article, a perturbation method is proposed for the $C^r$ closing of periodic orbits. This method is…
The dynamical parameters conventionally used to specify the orbit of a test particle in Kerr spacetime are the energy $E$, the axial component of the angular momentum, $L_{z}$, and Carter's constant $Q$. These parameters are obtained by…
Newton's theorem of revolving orbits states that one can multiply the angular speed of a Keplerian orbit by a factor $k$ by applying a radial inverse cubed force proportional to $(1-k^2)$. In this paper we derive an extension of this…
