About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The classical restricted problem of three bodies is of fundamental importance for its applications to astronomy and space navigation, and also as a simple model of a non-integrable Hamiltonian dynamical system. A central role is played by periodic orbits, of which a large number have been computed numerically. In this book an attempt is made to explain and organize this material through a systematic study of generating families, which are the limits of families of periodic orbits when the mass ratio of the two main bodies becomes vanishingly small. The most critical part is the study of bifurcations, where several families come together and it is necessary to determine how individual branches are joined. Many different cases must be distinguished and studied separately. Detailed recipes are given. Their use is illustrated by determining a number of generating families, associated with natural families of the restricted problem, and comparing them with numerical computations in the Earth-Moon and Sun-Jupiter case.

About this title

Synopsis

Die zunehmende Beschäftigung mit handels- und steuerrechtlichen Aspekten der Rechnungslegungspolitik und die wachsende Bedeutung der internationalen Rechnungslegung waren die Hauptgründe für die Herausgabe dieses Buches. Zum einen wird versucht, die bis zum gegenwärtigen Zeitpunkt vorgelegten Forschungsergebnisse in ausgewählten Bereichen der Rechnungslegungspolitik systematisch zu präsentieren. Zum anderen zeigen die 28 Beiträge den Entwicklungsprozeß von der traditionellen Bilanzpolitik zu einer umfassenden Rechnungslegungspolitik, die in das Ziel- und Informationssystem des Unternehmens eingebettet ist, auf. Hierdurch sollen u.a. Gestaltungsstrategien, -potentiale und -instrumente verdeutlicht werden, die auch im Rahmen einer künftigen Internationalisierung der Unternehmenspolitik genutzt werden können.

From the Back Cover

The classical restricted problem of three bodies is of fundamental importance for its applications to astronomy and space navigation, and also as a simple model of a non-integrable Hamiltonian dynamical system. A central role is played by periodic orbits, of which a large number have been computed numerically. In this book an attempt is made to explain and organize this material through a systematic study of generating families, which are the limits of families of periodic orbits when the mass ratio of the two main bodies becomes vanishingly small. The most critical part is the study of bifurcations, where several families come together and it is necessary to determine how individual branches are joined. Many different cases must be distinguished and studied separately. Detailed recipes are given. Their use is illustrated by determining a number of generating families, associated with natural families of the restricted problem, and comparing them with numerical computations in the Earth-Moon and Sun-Jupiter case.
