Mikkola, Seppo, 1947-

Gravitational few-body dynamics : a numerical approach / Seppo Mikkola. - xii; 244 pages, ill.; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The problems -- Two-body motion -- Analytical tools -- Variation of parameters -- Numerical integration -- Symplectic integration -- KS-regularization -- Algorithmic regularization -- Motion in the field of a black hole -- Artificial satellite orbits.

"This book contains an exposition of the most important subjects in celestial mechanics that I have been working with. The book also includes some traditional material, which is necessary for anyone who wants to learn/study the gravitational few-body problem. Some basic subjects are repeated in different chapters/sections to avoid the need for reading the entire book if one is interested only in some special problem"--
