چکیده
In this paper we consider the existence of stable motions for a particle near the triangular points of the Earth-Moon system. To this end, we first use a simplified model (the socalled Bicircular Problem, BCP) that includes the main effects coming from the Earth, Moon and Sun. The neighbourhood of the triangular points in the BCP model is unstable, as happens in the real system. However, here we show that, in the BCP, there exist sets of initial conditions giving rise to solutions that remain close to the Lagrangian points for a very long time. These solutions are found at some distance from the triangular points. Finally, we numerically show that some of these solutions seem to subsist in the real system (by real system we refer to the model defined by the well-known JPL ephemeris), in the sense that the corresponding trajectories remain close to the equilateral points for at least 1 000 years. These orbits move up and down with respect to the Earth-Moon plane, crossing this plane near the triangular points. Hence, the search for Trojan asteroids in the Earth-Moon system should be focused on these regions and, more concretely, in the zone where the trajectories reach their maximum elongation with respect to the Earth-Moon plane.

GENERATION OF OPTIMIZED SPECTRUM COMPATIBLE NEAR-FIELD PULSE-LIKE GROUND MOTIONS USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
The existence of recorded accelerograms to perform dynamic inelastic time history analysis is of the utmost importance especially in near-fault regions where directivity pulses impose extreme demands on structures and cause widespread damages. But due to the scarcity of recorded acceleration time histories, it is common to generate proper artificial ground motions. In this paper an alternative ...
متن کاملFractional dynamical systems: A fresh view on the local qualitative theorems
The aim of this work is to describe the qualitative behavior of the solution set of a given system of fractional differential equations and limiting behavior of the dynamical system or flow defined by the system of fractional differential equations. In order to achieve this goal, it is first necessary to develop the local theory for fractional nonlinear systems. This is done by the extension of...
متن کاملPrediction of Above-elbow Motions in Amputees, based on Electromyographic(EMG) Signals, Using Nonlinear Autoregressive Exogenous (NARX) Model
Introduction In order to improve the quality of life of amputees, biomechatronic researchers and biomedical engineers have been trying to use a combination of various techniques to provide suitable rehabilitation systems. Diverse biomedical signals, acquired from a specialized organ or cell system, e.g., the nervous system, are the driving force for the whole system. Electromyography(EMG), as a...
متن کاملFrom Passive Dynamic Walking to Passive Turning of Biped walker
Dynamically stable biped robots mimicking human locomotion have received significant attention over the last few decades. Formerly, the existence of stable periodic gaits for straight walking of passive biped walkers was well known and investigated as the notion of passive dynamic walking. This study is aimed to elaborate this notion in the case of three dimensional (3D) walking and extend it f...
