Quaternionic processor. (Q5955271)

In this paper, a semi-analytical solution of the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel equation for the perturbed Kepler problem was developed. The procedure which is used, here, is capable of building the solution in a semi-analytical form serving as an efficient ``quaternionic'' processor. This can be done by expanding all quantities as Fourier series and the individual terms of the series are exponentials with complex coefficients. The suggested procedure, automatically, selects the terms needed for a given accuracy. Application of the procedure has been done in the traditional Lunar problem.
