Kepler's laws of planetary motion are deduced from those of a harmonic oscillator following Arnold. Conversely, the circular orbits through the Earth's center suggested by Galilei are consistent with an $r^{-5}$ potential as found before by…
A general study of symmetries in optimal control theory is given, starting from the presymplectic description of this kind of system. Then, Noether's theorem, as well as the corresponding reduction procedure (based on the application of the…
This study focuses on the long-term evolution of two bodies in nearby initially coplanar orbits around a central dominant body perturbed by a fourth body on a distant Keplerian orbit. Our previous works that considered this setup enforced…
The stellar spin orientation relative to the orbital planes of multiplanet systems are becoming accessible to observations. Here, we analyze and classify different types of spin-orbit evolution in compact multiplanet systems perturbed by an…
A novel approximation method in studying the perihelion precession and planetary orbits in general relativity is to use geodesic deviation equations of first and high-orders, proposed by Kerner et.al. Using higher-order geodesic deviation…

We consider in this work the problem of minimizing the von Neumann entropy under the constraints that the density of particles, the current, and the kinetic energy of the system is fixed at each point of space. The unique minimizer is a…
Let $U(\boldsymbol r),\boldsymbol r\in\Omega\subset \mathbb R^2$ be a harmonic function that solves an exterior Dirichlet problem. If all the level sets of $U(\boldsymbol r),\boldsymbol r\in\Omega$ are smooth Jordan curves, then there are…
We report on the application of chaos control to the irregular motion of an electron under the combined influence of a Coulomb and a magnetic field, the so-called ``diamagnetic Kepler problem'' (DKP). We show how to stabilize the classical…
This work settles the Eichler-Shimura congruence relation of Blasius and Rogawski for certain 5-dimensional Hodge-type Shimura varieties, that were not tractable by previously known methods. In a more general context we introduce a…
A general method for solving nonlinear ill-posed problems is developed. The method consists of solving a Cauchy problem with a regularized operator and proving that the solution of this problem tends, as time grows, to a solution of the…
The St\"ackel transform is applied to the geodesic motion on Euclidean space, through the harmonic oscillator and Kepler-Coloumb potentials, in order to obtain maximally superintegrable classical systems on N-dimensional Riemannian spaces…
The $Kepler$ $orbits$ form a 3-parameter family of $unparametrized$ plane curves, consisting of all conics sharing a focus at a fixed point. We study the geometry and symmetry properties of this family, as well as natural 2-parameter…
It is argued that, for motion in a central force field, polar reciprocals of trajectories are an elegant alternative to hodographs. The principal advantage of polar reciprocals is that the transformation from a trajectory to its polar…
This article studies the application of the Jacobi-Eisenhart lift, Jacobi metric and Maupertius transformation to the Kepler system. We start by reviewing fundamentals and the Jacobi metric. Then we study various ways to apply the lift to…
We summarize the use of Noether symmetries in Minisuperspace Quantum Cosmology. In particular, we consider minisuperspace models, showing that the existence of conserved quantities gives selection rules that allow to recover classical…
We investigate the focusing inhomogeneous nonlinear biharmonic Schr\"odinger equation \[ i\partial_t u + \Delta^2 u - |x|^{-b}|u|^p u = 0 \quad \text{on } \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^N, \] in the energy-critical regime, $p = \frac{8 -…
A fourth-order compact scheme is proposed for a fourth-order subdiffusion equation with the first Dirichlet boundary conditions. The fourth-order problem is firstly reduced into a couple of spatially second-order system and we use an…
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…
Modern N-body techniques for planetary dynamics are generally based on symplectic algorithms specially adapted to the Kepler problem. These methods have proven very useful in studying planet formation, but typically require the timestep for…
