AbstractWe study radially symmetric systems with a singularity of repulsive type. In the presence of a radially symmetric periodic forcing, we show the existence of three distinct families of subharmonic solutions: One oscillates radially, one rotates around the origin with small angular momentum, and the third one with both large angular momentum and large amplitude. The proofs are carried out by the use of topological degree theory.

Abstract An expression for the Hamiltonian H(ρ1, ρ2, ρ3) of a vibrating-rotating triatomic molecule is derived using three curvilinear coordinates gi, Q 3 in such a way that the Hamiltonian obtained is applicable to any bent triatomic molecule and allows for large displacements in all the three modes of motion. A variational technique is then used to calculate the low lying vibrational energy levels (υ1, υ2, υ3) of the H2O molecule in its X̃1A1 ground state. The kinetic energy of the Hamiltonian T(ρ1, ρ2, ρ3) takes into account the large amplitude character of the three modes together with their interaction. But in order to minimize the formidable amount of computation, a simple quadratic potential F(ρ1, ρ2, ρ3) is assumed for all the three modes which only serves to illustrate the method of calculation.

We study planar radially symmetric Keplerian-like systems with repulsive singularities near the origin and with some semilinear growth near infinity. By the use of topological degree theory, we prove the existence of two distinct families of periodic orbits; one rotates around the origin with small angular momentum, and the other one rotates around the origin with both large angular momentum and large amplitude.

AbstractThis paper presents analysis of the rotational parameters of Toutatis based on the observational results from Chang'e-2's close flyby. The 3-D shape model derived from ground-based radar observation is used to calculate the 3-1-3 Euler angles at the flyby epoch, which are evaluated to be −20.1° ± 1°, 27.6° ± 1° and 42.2° ± 1°. The large amplitude of Toutatis' tumbling attitude is demonstrated to be the result of the large deviation of the angular momentum axis and the rotational axis. Two rotational periods are evaluated to be 5.38±0.03 days for rotation about the long axis and 7.40±0.03 days for precession of the long axis about the angular momentum vector based on Fourier analysis. These results provide a further understanding of rotational state of Toutatis.

The evaluation of partition functions for triatomic molecules undergoing large-amplitude bending vibrations is discussed. It was supposed that the needed molecular structure data were obtained by means of ab initio calculations. Special attention is paid to the coupling between the bending and stretching modes and the interplay between bending motions and rotations. An appropriate scheme for variational computation of the energy levels is developed.

An analytical discussion of that case of motion in the restricted problem, in which the mean motions of the infinitesimal, and smaller-massed, bodies about the larger one are nearly in the ratio of two small integers displays the existence of a series of periodic solutions which, for commensurabilities of the typep+ 1:p, includes solutions of Poincaré'sdeuxième sortewhen the commensurability is very close, and of thepremière sortewhen it is less close. A linear treatment of the long-period variations of the elements, valid for motions in which the elements remain close to a particular periodic solution of this type, shows the continuity of near-commensurable motion with other motion, and some of the properties of long-period librations of small amplitude.To extend the investigation to other types of motion near commensurability, numerical integrations of the equations for the long-period variations of the elements were carried out for the 2:1 interior case (of which the planet 108 “Hecuba” is an example) to survey those motions in which the eccentricity takes values less than 0·1. An investigation of the effect of the large amplitude perturbations near commensurability on a distribution of minor planets, which is originally uniform over mean motion, shows a “draining off” effect from the vicinity of exact commensurability of a magnitude large enough to account for the observed gap in the distribution at the 2:1 commensurability.
