--- res: bibo_abstract: - The restricted planar elliptic three body problem (RPETBP) describes the motion of a massless particle (a comet or an asteroid) under the gravitational field of two massive bodies (the primaries, say the Sun and Jupiter) revolving around their center of mass on elliptic orbits with some positive eccentricity. The aim of this paper is to show the existence of orbits whose angular momentum performs arbitrary excursions in a large region. In particular, there exist diffusive orbits, that is, with a large variation of angular momentum. The leading idea of the proof consists in analyzing parabolic motions of the comet. By a well-known result of McGehee, the union of future (resp. past) parabolic orbits is an analytic manifold P+ (resp. P−). In a properly chosen coordinate system these manifolds are stable (resp. unstable) manifolds of a manifold at infinity P∞, which we call the manifold at parabolic infinity. On P∞ it is possible to define two scattering maps, which contain the map structure of the homoclinic trajectories to it, i.e. orbits parabolic both in the future and the past. Since the inner dynamics inside P∞ is trivial, two different scattering maps are used. The combination of these two scattering maps permits the design of the desired diffusive pseudo-orbits. Using shadowing techniques and these pseudo orbits we show the existence of true trajectories of the RPETBP whose angular momentum varies in any predetermined fashion.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Amadeu foaf_name: Delshams, Amadeu foaf_surname: Delshams - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Vadim foaf_name: Kaloshin, Vadim foaf_surname: Kaloshin foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=FE553552-CDE8-11E9-B324-C0EBE5697425 orcid: 0000-0002-6051-2628 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Abraham foaf_name: de la Rosa, Abraham foaf_surname: de la Rosa - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Tere M. foaf_name: Seara, Tere M. foaf_surname: Seara bibo_doi: 10.1007/s00220-018-3248-z bibo_issue: '3' bibo_volume: 366 dct_date: 2018^xs_gYear dct_isPartOf: - http://id.crossref.org/issn/0010-3616 - http://id.crossref.org/issn/1432-0916 dct_language: eng dct_publisher: Springer Nature@ dct_subject: - Mathematical Physics - Statistical and Nonlinear Physics dct_title: Global instability in the restricted planar elliptic three body problem@ ...
