AbstractBrouwer’s solution to the artificial satellite problem is revisited. We show that the complete Hamiltonian reduction is rather achieved in the plain Poincaré’s style, through a single canonical transformation, than using a sequence of partial reductions based on von Zeipel’s alternative for dealing with perturbed degenerate Hamiltonian systems. Beyond the theoretical interest of the new approach as regards the complete reduction of perturbed Keplerian motion, we also show that a solution based on a single set of corrections may yield computational benefits in the implementation of an analytic orbit propagator.

Review of the present problems of relativistic celestial mechanics. Advantage is taken of the method suggested earlier by the author and based on using quasi-Galilean coordinates with arbitrary coordinate functions or parameters. As compared with the previous papers the new elements are post-post-Newtonian approximation for the circular motion in the Schwarzschild problem and reduction of the artificial satellite problem including the main solar perturbations to the Schwarzschild problem. Some current questions of time scales definitions, reference frames and reduction of observations are briefly discussed.

We deal with the quasi-periodic solutions of the following second-order Hamiltonian systemsx¨(t)=∇F(t,x(t)), wherex(t)=(x1(t),…,xN(t)), and we present a new approach via variational methods and Minmax method to obtain the existence of quasi-periodic solutions to the above equation.

We introduce the following classes of integrable billiards: elementary billiards, topological, books, with potential, magnetic field, geodesic billiards. These classes are used to test the A.T. Fomenko conjecture about the realizability up to Liouville equivalence by billiards of integrable non-degenerate Hamiltonian systems with two degrees of freedom. In the class of book billiards found topological obstacles to realizability.
