Three theorems on relative motion

Celestial mechanics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The three theorems treat the analytical aspects of the relative motion of non-interacting particles influenced by arbitrary force fields. As special cases motion in gravitational and central force fields are discussed. The theorems generalize Encke's method, Euler's transformation and Sundman's regularization.
