Numerical methods of resonant dynamics for the Galaxy
- Abstract:
-
Numerical methods of resonant dynamics with applications to the Galaxy are considered in this thesis. We derive generating functions for first-order perturbation theory and the associated orbital frequencies by matrix calculus. For two action-angle spaces (J,θ) and (i,φ) related by a canonical map I·φ+s, we show that J can be averaged over ergodic orbits φ to provide an estimator of I to within O...
