Stability and Chaos in Celestial Mechanics
The author of this book is a Professor at mathematics department, University of Rome “Tor Vergata”, Rome, Italy. The fact that the last decades have marked the beginning of a new era in Celestial Mechanics is a good reason for a new book in the field. The challenges came from several different directions. The stability theory of nearly-integrable systems (a class of problems which includes many...
متن کاملChaos and quantum mechanics.
The relationship between chaos and quantum mechanics has been somewhat uneasy--even stormy, in the minds of some people. However, much of the confusion may stem from inappropriate comparisons using formal analyses. In contrast, our starting point here is that a complete dynamical description requires a full understanding of the evolution of measured systems, necessary to explain actual experime...
متن کاملPoincare, Celestial Mechanics, Dynamical-systems Theory and ~chaos~~*
As demonstrated by the success of James Gleick’s recent book [19871,there is considerable interest in the scientific community and among the general public in “chaos” and the “new science” which is supposed to accompany it. However, as usual, it is not easy to separate hyperbole from fact. In an attempt to do this, I will offer a precise definition of chaos in the context of differential equati...
متن کاملQuantum Chaos and Statistical Mechanics
We briefly review the well known connection between classical chaos and classical statistical mechanics, and the recently discovered connection between quantum chaos and quantum statistical mechanics. Talk given at the Conference on Fundamental Problems in Quantum Theory Baltimore, June 18–22, 1994 Consider a dilute gas of hard spheres in a box with hard walls. Give the spheres some arbitrary i...
