The global flow of the quasihomogeneous potentials of Manev-Schwarzschild type (Q5946573): Difference between revisions

The author considers two body-problem defined by a potential of the form \(V(r)=a r^{-1}+b r^{-2}+c r^{-3}\), where \(r\) is the distance between the two particulars and \(a,b,c\) are constants. She points out that the Hamiltonian \(H={1\over 2}(p^2_r+ {p^2_\theta \over y^2})+ V(r)\) and the angular momentum \(p_\theta= r^2\dot\theta\) form two first integrals of the system. If \(I_m\) and \(I_h\) respectively form the set of points in phase space where \(p_\theta\) and \(H\) respectively take the values \(m\) and \(h\), the author discusses their invariance and the global flow of the systems when \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) vary, there being 16 cases. No actual physical problem is discussed, however.
