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…
A polarizable body moving in an external electromagnetic field will slow down. This effect is referred to as radiation damping and is analogous to Doppler cooling in atomic physics. Using the principles of special relativity we derive an…

The wave equation with energy critical sources and nonlinear damping defined on a 3D bounded domain is considered. It is shown that the resulting dynamical system admits a global attractor. Under the additional assumption of strong…
A useful crude approximation for Abelian functions is developed and applied to orbits. The bound orbits in the power-law potentials A*r^{-alpha} take the simple form (l/r)^k = 1 + e cos(m*phi), where k = 2 - alpha > 0 and 'l' and 'e' are…

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…
We study dynamics near the threshold for blowup in the focusing nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation $u_{tt}-u_{xx} + u - |u|^{2\alpha} u =0$ on the line. Using mixed numerical and analytical methods we find that solutions starting from even…

We consider the Ising Curie-Weiss model on the complete graph constrained under a given $\ell^{p}$ norm for some $p>0$. For $p=\infty$, it reduces to the classical Ising Curie-Weiss model. We prove that for all $p>2$, there exists…
The closedness of orbits of central forces is addressed in a three dimensional space in which the Poisson bracket among the coordinates is that of the SU(2) Lie algebra. In particular it is shown that among problems with spherically…
Metriplectic dynamical systems consist of a special combination of a Hamiltonian and a (generalized) entropy-gradient flow, such that the Hamiltonian is conserved and entropy is dissipated/produced (depending on a sign convention). It is…

This paper investigates the repulsion-consumption system \begin{align}\tag{$\star$} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} u_t=\Delta u+\nabla \cdot(S(u) \nabla v), \tau v_t=\Delta v-u v, \end{array} \right. \end{align} under no-flux/Dirichlet…
The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, we introduce a geometric approach to study the circular orbit of a particle in static and spherically symmetric spacetime based on Jacobi metric. Second, we apply the circular orbit to study the…
Introducing a radially dependent magnetic field into Newton's off-center circular orbits potential so as to preserve the $E=0$ dynamical symmetry leads to a unique choice of field that can be identified as the inclusion of a magnetic…
