Central Configurations, Periodic Orbits, and Hamiltonian Systems

Know about the book -

Central Configurations, Periodic Orbits, and Hamiltonian Systems is written by Jaume Llibre and published by Birkhäuser. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3034809336 (ISBN 10) and 9783034809337 (ISBN 13).

The notes of this book originate from three series of lectures given at the Centre de Recerca Matemàtica (CRM) in Barcelona. The first one is dedicated to the study of periodic solutions of autonomous differential systems in Rn via the Averaging Theory and was delivered by Jaume Llibre. The second one, given by Richard Moeckel, focusses on methods for studying Central Configurations. The last one, by Carles Simó, describes the main mechanisms leading to a fairly global description of the dynamics in conservative systems. The book is directed towards graduate students and researchers interested in dynamical systems, in particular in the conservative case, and aims at facilitating the understanding of dynamics of specific models. The results presented and the tools introduced in this book include a large range of applications.
