An analytical method for solving the problem of the satellite around the oblated Earth is discussed. Such a method goes back to Dirk Brouwer (1959) and seems to be still widely used in real applications. We reformulate in a more concise way…
The non-linearities of the dynamics of Earth artificial satellites are encapsulated by two formal integrals that are customarily computed by perturbation methods. Standard procedures begin with a Hamiltonian simplification that removes…
The performance of Brouwer's gravity solution is compared with Deprit's second-order radial intermediary. Taking the main problem of the artificial satellite as the test model, that is perturbations are limited to the effects of the second…
Traditional analytical theories of celestial mechanics are not well-adapted when dealing with highly elliptical orbits. On the one hand, analytical solutions are quite generally expanded into power series of the eccentricity and so limited…
Analytical integration in Artificial Satellite Theory may benefit from different canonical simplification techniques, like the elimination of the parallax, the relegation of the nodes, or the elimination of the perigee. These techniques…
A popular intermediary in the theory of artificial satellites is obtained after the elimination of parallactic terms from the J2-problem Hamiltonian. The resulting quasi-Keplerian system is in turn converted into the Kepler problem by a…
We prove that the Weihrauch lattice can be transformed into a Brouwer algebra by the consecutive application of two closure operators in the appropriate order: first completion and then parallelization. The closure operator of completion is…
This paper introduces several new algorithms for consensus over the special orthogonal group. By relying on a convex relaxation of the space of rotation matrices, consensus over rotation elements is reduced to solving a convex problem with…
The main effects of the Earth's oblateness on the motion of artificial satellites are usually derived from the variation of parameters equations of an average representation of the oblateness disturbing function. Rather, we approach their…
In the context of general perturbation theories, the main problem of the artificial satellite analyses the motion of an orbiter around an Earth-like planet, only perturbed by its equatorial bulge or J2 effect. By means of a Lie transform…
We present a subgradient method for minimizing non-smooth, non-Lipschitz convex optimization problems. The only structure assumed is that a strictly feasible point is known. We extend the work of Renegar [5] by taking a different…
The Poincare'-Dulac normal form of a given resonant system is in general non unique; given a specific normal form, one would like to further reduce it to a simplest normal form. In this note we give an algorithm, based on the Lie algebraic…
The inverse radiative transfer problem finds broad applications in medical imaging, atmospheric science, astronomy, and many other areas. This problem intends to recover the optical properties, denoted as absorption and scattering…
When dealing with satellites orbiting a central body on a highly elliptical orbit, it is necessary to consider the effect of gravitational perturbations due to external bodies. Indeed, these perturbations can become very important as soon…
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation in the sense of Poincar\'e, i.e. formulated in the extended phase space and including regularization, is revisited building canonical transformations with the purpose of Hamiltonian reduction. We illustrate our…
The authors try to find a good solution of an artificial satellite motion under the influence of J2 gravity in terms of KS variables by using Picard Iterative Method. The result shows that there are many solutions for this problem depends…
We study geodesics on hypersurfaces close to the standard (n-1)-dimensional sphere in n-dimensional Euclidean space. Following Poincar\'e, we treat the problem within the framework of the analytical mechanics, and employ the perturbation…
In a real Hilbert space setting, we reconsider the classical Arrow-Hurwicz differential system in view of solving linearly constrained convex minimization problems. We investigate the asymptotic properties of the differential system and…
We present a reduced basis approach to solve the convected Helmholtz equation with several physical parameters. Physical parameters characterize the aeroacoustic wave propagation in terms of the wave and Mach numbers. We compute solutions…
Via a non degenerate symmetric bilinear form we identify the coadjoint representation with a new representation and so we induce on the orbits a simplectic form. By considering Hamiltonian systems on the orbits we study some features of…
