Dynamical coupling of periodic systems.
Abstract
Haag's (1948, 1950) theory of synchronization is extended to the study of periodic solutions of the planetary problem. Dynamical equations and associated equations for an imperturbed system are introduced, and an expression for the ratio of periods obtained from the two kinds of equations is derived. The theory is applied to the case of Jupiter's Galilean satellites. The role of the flattening of a planet is also considered.
