One may qualitatively describe the motion by means of a precessing great circle of the sphere. The observation is employed to derive a subsidiary Hamiltonian system that has the form of equations for the top with a 4-th order Hamiltonian, and provides the detailed asymptotic description of the particle's motion in terms of graphs on the standard sphere.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-12-10T07:29:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "asymptotic hamiltonian reduction", "standard sphere", "subsidiary hamiltonian system", "small perturbation", "precessing great circle" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2005math.ph..12032G" } } }
