THE MATRIZANTS OF THE KEPLERIAN MOTIONS (THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL CASE)
Abstract
The variational equations of the problem of two bodies have been solved from first principles applying Jacobi's dual theorem of the last multiplier to the adjoint of the Hamiltonian system expressed in Cartesian coordinates with respect to an arbitrarily given inertial frame of reference. Once the matrizant R(t;t0) in that system has been obtained in closed form, other forms of the resolvent are derived simply by homogeneous canonical extensions. By way of illustration, we have recovered in this way the matrizants in the orbital frame of reference and in Hill's intrinsic coordinate system.
