Multi-planet systems around evolved stars are of interest to trace the evolution of planetary systems into the post-main sequence phase. HD 47366, an evolved intermediate mass star, hosts two giant planets on moderately eccentric orbits.…

We integrate sampling-based planning techniques with funnel-based feedback control to develop KDF, a new framework for solving the kinodynamic motion-planning problem via funnel control. The considered systems evolve subject to complex,…

A pure two-body problem has seven integrals including the Kepler energy, the Laplace vector, and the angular momentum vector. However, only five of them are independent. When the five independent integrals are preserved, the two other…

Many exoplanetary systems are multiplanet configurations whose long-term dynamics are governed by N-body gravitational interactions. Consequently, their detection signatures cannot be adequately described by Keplerian orbits. Accurately…

We describe the new version (v1.75r) of the code HFODD which solves the nuclear Skyrme-Hartree-Fock problem by using the Cartesian deformed harmonic-oscillator basis. Three minor errors that went undetected in the previous version have been…

We present Keplerian-type parametrization for the solution of third post-Newtonian (3PN) accurate equations of motion for two non-spinning compact objects moving in an eccentric orbit. The orbital elements of the parametrization are…

We investigate methods to calibrate the non-common path aberrations at an adaptive optics system having a wavefront-correcting device working at an extremely high resolution (larger than 150x150). We use focal-plane images collected…

This paper presents a computationally efficient optimization algorithm for solving nonconvex optimal control problems that involve discrete logic constraints. Traditional solution methods for these constraints require binary variables and…

The Fokker-Planck (FP) equation is a linear partial differential equation which governs the temporal and spatial evolution of the probability density function (PDF) associated with the response of stochastic dynamical systems. An exact…

We study the dynamics of the collinear points in the planar, restricted three-body problem, assuming that the primaries move on an elliptic orbit around a common barycenter. The equations of motion can be conveniently written in a rotating…

Over the last decades, there has been a tremendous increase in research on extrasolar planets. Many exosolar systems, which consist of a Star and two inclined Planets, seem to be locked in 4/3, 3/2, 2/1, 5/2, 3/1 and 4/1 mean motion…

In this article, we apply a new methodology for precision tuning to the N-body problem. Our technique, implemented in a tool named POP, makes it possible to optimize the numerical data types of a program performing floating-point…

We describe a newly developed hydrodynamic code for studying accretion disk processes. The numerical method uses a finite volume, nonlinear, Total Variation Diminishing (TVD) scheme to capture shocks and control spurious oscillations. It is…

We present a framework for the simulation of rigid and deformable bodies in the presence of contact and friction. Our method is based on a non-smooth Newton iteration that solves the underlying nonlinear complementarity problems (NCPs)…

Planning under partial obervability is essential for autonomous robots. A principled way to address such planning problems is the Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP). Although solving POMDPs is computationally intractable,…

For complex combinatorial optimization problems, models and algorithms are at the heart of the solution. The complexity of many types of satellite mission planning problems is NP-hard and places high demands on the solution. In this paper,…

The results of our study of the motion of a three particle, self-gravitating system in general relativistic lineal gravity is presented for an arbitrary ratio of the particle masses. We derive a canonical expression for the Hamiltonian of…

Optimization methods for long-horizon, dynamically feasible motion planning in robotics tackle challenging non-convex and discontinuous optimization problems. Traditional methods often falter due to the nonlinear characteristics of these…

This paper focuses on the attitude motion of spacecraft systems featuring asymmetric spacecraft platforms and unbalanced rotors. Through perturbation expansion, the spacecraft dynamic equation is simplified as a linear periodically…

The secular approximation of the hierarchical three body systems has been proven to be very useful in addressing many astrophysical systems, from planets, stars to black holes. In such a system two objects are on a tight orbit, and the…
