Kicked rotor is a paradigmatic model for classical and quantum chaos in time-dependent
Hamiltonian systems. More than fifty years since the introduction of this model, there is an …

The so-called Lidov-Kozai oscillation is very well known and applied to various problems in
solar system dynamics. This mechanism makes the orbital inclination and eccentricity of the …

We investigate the chaotic behaviour of the S-star cluster in the Galactic Centre using
precise N-body calculations, free from round-off or discretization errors. Our findings reveal …

Chaos is present in most stellar dynamical systems and manifests itself through the
exponential growth of small perturbations. Exponential divergence drives time irreversibility …

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 …

Numerical solutions to Newtons equations of motion for chaotic self gravitating systems of
more than 2 bodies are often regarded to be irreversible. This is due to the exponential …

Dynamical chaos is a fundamental manifestation of gravity in astrophysical, many-body
systems. The spectrum of Lyapunov exponents quantifies the associated exponential …

Recently, we estimated that about 5 per cent of unstable supermassive black hole triple
systems are fundamentally unpredictable. These gargantuan chaotic systems are able to …

Recently we estimated that about 5 percent of supermassive black hole triple systems are
fundamentally unpredictable. These gargantuan chaotic systems are able to exponentially …

We present numerical simulations of the gravitational three-body problem, in which three
particles lie at rest close to the vertices of an equilateral triangle. In the unperturbed problem …
