In this book we describe the basic principles, problems, and methods of cl-sical mechanics.
Our main attention is devoted to the mathematical side of the subject. Although the physical …

Microscopic Dynamics of Plasmas and Chaos discusses the resonant wave-particle
interaction in plasmas, provides the tools for chaotic Hamiltonian dynamics, and describes a …

This review focusses on the contributions of plasma physics to chaos and nonlinear
dynamics bringing new methods which are or can be used in other scientific domains. It …

Omnigenous stellarators, those with bounce averaged drifts lying within the magnetic
surfaces, form a much larger class than quasihelical stellarators (ie, with magnetic-field …

The Astrophysics and Space Science Library is a series of high-level monographs and
edited volumes covering a broad range of subjects in Astrophysics, Astronomy, Cosmology …

An ever-growing observational aggregate of extrasolar planets has revealed that systems of
planets that reside in or near mean-motion resonances are relatively common. While the …

The GJ 876 system was among the earliest multi-planetary detections outside of the Solar
System, and has long been known to harbor a resonant pair of giant planets. Subsequent …

The variation of a planet's obliquity is influenced by the existence of satellites with a high
mass ratio. For instance, Earth's obliquity is stabilized by the Moon and would undergo …

A Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom depending on a slowly periodically
varying in time parameter is considered. For every fixed value of the parameter there are …

The effect of a small or slow perturbation on a Hamiltonian system with one degree of
freedom is considered. It is assumed that the phase portrait (''phase plane'') of the …
