The n-body problem with repulsive-attractive quasihomogeneous potential functions.Jones, Robert T. 12 November 2008 (has links)
This thesis involves the study of a repulsive-attractive N-body problem, which
is a subclass of a quasihomogeneous N-body problem [5]. The quasihomogeneous
N-body problem is the study of N point masses moving in R3N, where the negative
of the potential energy is of the form,
X 1≤i<j≤N
bmimjr−β
ij + X 1≤i<j≤N
amimjr−α
ij .
In the above equation, rij is the distance between the point mass mi and the point
mass mj , and a, b, α > β > 0 are constants. The repulsive-attractive N-body
problem is the case where a < 0 and b > 0.
We start the ground work for the study of the repulsive-attractive N-body
problem by defining the first integrals, collisions and pseudo-collisions and the collision
set. By examining the potentials where a < 0 and b > 0, we see that the
dominant force is repulsive. This means that the closer two point masses get the
greater the force acting to separate them becomes. This property leads to the main
result of the first chapter: there can be no collisions or pseudo-collisions for any
repulsive-attractive system.
In the next chapter we study central configurations of the system. Quasihomogeneous
potentials will have different central configurations than homogeneous
potentials [6], thus requiring the classification of two new subsets of central configurations.
Loosely speaking, the set of central configurations that are not central
configurations for any homogeneous potential are called extraneous. The set of
configurations that are central configurations for both homogeneous potentials that
make up the quasihomogeneous potential, are called simultaneous configurations.
We also notice that every simultaneous central configuration will be non-extraneous,
therefore the two subsets are disjoint.
Next we show the existence of oscillating homothetic periodic orbits associated
with non-extraneous configurations. Finally in this chapter, we investigate the polygon
solutions for repulsive-attractive N-body problems [11]. In particular we show
that the masses need no longer to be equal, for repulsive-attractive potentials. It
will be shown that there exists a square configuration with m1 = m2 6= m3 = m4,
that leads to a relative equilibrium. Therefore, for N = 4 the set of extraneous
configurations is non-empty.
The last chapter deals with the complete analysis of the generalized Lennard-
Jones 2-body problem. The generalized Lennard-Jones problem is the subcase of
the repulsive-attractive N-body problem, where a = −1, b = 2, and α = 2β. We
proceed as in [13] by using diffeomorphic transforms to get an associated system
thereby generating a picture of the global flow of the system. This gives us the
complete flow for the generalized Lennard-Jones 2-body problem.

Medieval maritime law and its practice in the towns of Northern Europe : a comparison by the example of shipwreck, jettison and ship collisionFrankot, Edda January 2004 (has links)
In this day and age of europeanisation and internationalisation of all aspects of society, including law, the topic of medieval maritime law has attracted increasing interest. Regulating sea shipping, which is characterised by the connection between different ‘nations’, sea law is intrinsically international. Or is it? The existence of a common medieval maritime law has often been presumed, but is researched thoroughly for the first time in this study. By analysing the developing and spread of the written sea laws across Northern Europe and by comparing the contents of the different maritime regulations, as well as the legal practice in five Northern European towns (Lübeck in Northern Germany, Reval (Tallinn) in Estonia, Danzig (Gdansk) in Poland, Kampen in the Netherlands and Aberdeen in Scotland) by using the examples of shipwreck, jettison and ship collision, the author has aimed to determine whether it is accurate to speak of a common law of the sea in medieval Northern Europe on the level of the books of law, their contents and the practice of the law at the town courts. Research has proven that there was no uniformity on any of these levels, despite occasional similarities between the laws and the judgements passed by the courts. There was no single law compilation available throughout Northern Europe at any time during the Middle Ages, there were no common regulations in the written laws and there was no uniform legal practice in the towns of Northern Europe. The divergence between the five towns handled in this study could largely be explained by the different role each of the towns played on the European stage.
