The problem of separating rotations from internal motions in systems such as macroscopic
flexible bodies, atoms, molecules, nuclei, and solar systems is an old one, with many …

Symmetry has always played an important role in mechanics, from fundamental formulations
of basic principles to concrete applications. The theme of the book is to develop the basic …

The use of geometric methods in classical mechanics has proven fruitful, with wide
applications in physics and engineering. In this book, Professor Marsden concentrates on …

Algebraic Theory of Molecules presents a fresh look at the mathematics of wave functions
that provide the theoretical underpinnings of molecular spectroscopy. Written by renowned …

Principal component analysis of molecular dynamics simulations is a popular method to
account for the essential dynamics of the system on a low-dimensional free energy …

Many‐body effects were examined in a series of molecular dynamics computer simulations
on the ionic aqueous clusters Na+ (H2O) n (n= 4, 5, 6, 14) and Cl−(H2O) n (n= 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 …

This paper develops and applies the energy-momentum method to the problem of nonlinear
stability of relative equilibria. The method is applied in detail to the stability of uniformily …

A general mechanical system with a Hamiltonian that is the sum of the kinetic and potential
energy is said to possess symmetry if the Hamiltonian function is invariant under the action …

We study the 38-atom Lennard-Jones cluster with parallel tempering Monte Carlo methods
in the microcanonical and molecular dynamics ensembles. A new Monte Carlo algorithm is …

Surface melting on clusters is investigated by a combination of analytic modeling and
computer simulation. Homogeneous argonlike clusters bound by Lennard-Jones forces and …
