报告摘要:The Newtonian 2-body problem is also called the Kepler problem in honor of Johannes Kepler (1571-1630) for his discovery of three laws of planetary motion, based on which Newton deduced in 1687 the celebrated law of universal gravitation. It is widely considered a well-understood problem, as solving it with given initial data and proving Kepler's three laws require nothing more than tools from elementary calculus. In this talk I will present a nonclassical approach which gives us more insights into Keplerian orbits, and which enables us to explore the n-body problem from a new perspective.
