Numerical efficiency of the elliptic function expansions of the first-order intermediary for general planetary theory
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 May 2016
Abstract
We compare numerical efficiency of the two kinds of series for the first-order intermediate orbit for general planetary theory: (1) the classical expansion involving mean longitudes of the planets; (2) an expansion resulting from the theory of elliptic functions. We conclude that mutual perturbations of close couples of planets (the ratio of major semi-axes ∼ 1) can be represented in more compact form with the aid of the second kind of series.
