Lindstedt-Poincaré Solutions of Clohessy-Wiltshire Equations

The purpose of this paper is the semi-analytical computation of the bounded orbits of Hill's equations, describing the relative motion of two particles in their Keplerian motion around a central body. We have considered the case in which one of the particles moves along a circular reference orbit. The solutions obtained are the generalisation of the usual periodic orbits obtained for the linear...

The volume and the variety of material results to collection representation as a hierarchical structure, according to the type of objects, the corresponding chronolo...
