We conducted extensive numerical experiments of equal mass three-body systems until they became disrupted. The system lifetimes, as a bound triple, and the Lyapunov times show a correlation similarto what has been earlier obtained for small…
We consider statistics of the disruption and Lyapunov times in an hierarchical restricted three-body problem. We show that at the edge of disruption the orbital periods and the size of the orbit of the escaping body exhibit L\'evy flights.…
To improve our understanding of orbital instabilities in compact planetary systems, we compare suites of $N$-body simulations against numerical integrations of simplified dynamical models. We show that, surprisingly, dynamical models that…
Recent numerical results seem to suggest that in certain regimes of typical particle velocities the gravitational $N-$body problem (for $3\leq N\lesssim 10^3$) is intrinsically less chaotic when the post-Newtonian (PN) force terms are…
Switched linear hyperbolic partial differential equations are considered in this paper. They model infinite dimensional systems of conservation laws and balance laws, which are potentially affected by a distributed source or sink term. The…
We prove that the fixed points of the curved 3-body problem and their associated relative equilibria are Lyapunov stable if the solutions are restricted to $\mathbb S^1$, but unstable if the bodies are considered in $\mathbb S^2$.
In this letter we show that although the application of standard Lyapunov analysis predicts that completely integrable Kepler motion is unstable, the geometrical analysis of Horwitz et al [1] predicts the observed stability. This seems to…
We study and compare three characteristic times of the standard map, the Lyapunov time t_L, the Poincare recurrence time t_r and the stickiness (or escape) time t_{st}. The Lyapunov time is the inverse of the Lyapunov characteristic number…
We prove new results regarding the existence, uniqueness, (eventual) boundedness, (total) stability and attractivity of the solutions of a class of initial-boundary-value problems characterized by a quasi-linear third order equation which…
In the present paper, which is a development of an earlier study by the author \cite{Sosnitskii08}, we consider the stability of triangular libration points in the spatial circular restricted three-body problem and improve the result of…
Errors in numerical simulations of gravitating systems can be magnified exponentially over short periods of time. Numerical shadowing provides a way of demonstrating that the dynamics represented by numerical simulations are representative…
This paper is concerned with boundary stabilization of two-dimensional hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations. By adapting the Lyapunov function previously proposed by the second author for linearized hyperbolic systems with…
We prove some new results regarding the boundedness, stability and attractivity of the solutions of a class of initial-boundary-value problems characterized by a quasi-linear third order equation which may contain time-dependent…
We investigate chaos in mixed-phase-space Hamiltonian systems using time series of the finite- time Lyapunov exponents. The methodology we propose uses the number of Lyapunov exponents close to zero to define regimes of ordered…
We study the influence of relativity on the chaotic properties and dynamical outcomes of an unstable triple system; the Pythagorean three-body problem. To this end, we extend the Brutus N-body code to include Post-Newtonian pairwise terms…
We provide Lyapunov-like characterizations of boundedness and convergence of non-trivial solutions for a class of systems with unstable invariant sets. Examples of systems to which the results may apply include interconnections of stable…
We address the stability problem for linear switching systems with mode-dependent restrictions on the switching intervals. Their lengths can be bounded as from below (the guaranteed dwell-time) as from above. The upper bounds make this…
Constraints are found on the spatial variation of finite-time Lyapunov exponents of two and three-dimensional systems of ordinary differential equations. In a chaotic system, finite-time Lyapunov exponents describe the average rate of…
We consider the special case of the restricted circular three-body problem, when the two primaries are of equal mass, while the third body of negligible mass performs oscillations along a straight line perpendicular to the plane of the…
Stability of stationary solutions of parabolic equations is conventionally studied by linear stability analysis, Lyapunov functions or lower and upper functions. We discuss here another approach based on differential inequalities written…
