When the planar circular restricted 3-body problem (RTBP) is periodically perturbed, families of unstable periodic orbits break up into whiskered tori, with most tori persisting into the perturbed system. In this study, we 1) develop a…

Chaotic motion in time of a number of macroscopic systems has been analyzed, in the framework of scale relativity, as motion in a fractal space with topological dimension 3 and geodesics with fractal dimension 2. The motion equation is then…

In geometric algebra, the rotation of a vector is described using rotors. Rotors are phasors where the imaginary number has been replaced by a oriented plane element of unit area called a unit bivector. The algebra in three dimensional…

In this paper, we consider the elliptic collinear solutions of the classical $n$-body problem, where the $n$ bodies always stay on a straight line, and each of them moves on its own elliptic orbit with the same eccentricity. Such a motion…
