We present a numerical study of the application of the Shannon entropy technique to the planar restricted three-body problem in the vicinity of first-order interior mean-motion resonances with the perturber. We estimate the diffusion coefficient for a series of initial conditions and compare the results with calculations obtained from the time evolution of the variance in the semimajor-axis and eccentricity plane. Adopting adequate normalization factors, both methods yield comparable results, although much shorter integration times are required for entropy calculations. A second advantage of the use of entropy is that it is possible to obtain reliable results even without the use of ensembles or analysis restricted to surfaces of section or representative planes. This allows for a much more numerically efficient tool that may be incorporated into a working N-body code and applied to numerous dynamical problems in planetary dynamics. Finally, we estimate instability times for a series of initial conditions in the 2/1 and 3/2 mean-motion resonances and compare them with times of escape obtained from directed N-body simulations. We find very good agreement in all cases, not only with respect to average values but also in their dispersion for near-by trajectories

The restricted planar four body problem describes the motion of a massless body under the Newtonian gravitational force of other three bodies (the primaries), of which the motion gives us general solutions of the three body problem. A trajectory is called {it oscillatory} if it goes arbitrarily faraway but returns infinitely many times to the same bounded region. We prove the existence of such type of trajectories provided the primaries evolve in suitable periodic orbits.
Eulers three-body problem is the problem of solving for the motion of a particle moving in a Newtonian potential generated by two point sources fixed in space. This system is integrable in the Liouville sense. We consider the Euler problem with the inverse-square potential, which can be seen as a natural generalization of the three-body problem to higher-dimensional Newtonian theory. We identify a family of stable stationary orbits in the generalized Euler problem. These orbits guarantee the existence of stable bound orbits. Applying the Poincare map method to these orbits, we show that stable bound chaotic orbits appear. As a result, we conclude that the generalized Euler problem is nonintegrable.
We study the dynamical chaos and integrable motion in the planar circular restricted three-body problem and determine the fractal dimension of the spiral strange repeller set of non-escaping orbits at different values of mass ratio of binary bodies and of Jacobi integral of motion. We find that the spiral fractal structure of the Poincare section leads to a spiral density distribution of particles remaining in the system. We also show that the initial exponential drop of survival probability with time is followed by the algebraic decay related to the universal algebraic statistics of Poincare recurrences in generic symplectic maps.
For the Restricted Circular Planar 3 Body Problem, we show that there exists an open set $mathcal U$ in phase space independent of fixed measure, where the set of initial points which lead to collision is $O(mu^frac{1}{20})$ dense as $murightarrow 0$.
In the present work we investigate phase correlations by recourse to the Shannon entropy. Using theoretical arguments we show that the entropy provides an accurate measure of phase correlations in any dynamical system, in particular when dealing with a chaotic diffusion process. We apply this approach to different low dimensional maps in order to show that indeed the entropy is very sensitive to the presence of correlations among the successive values of angular variables, even when it is weak. Later on, we apply this approach to unveil strong correlations in the time evolution of the phases involved in the Arnolds Hamiltonian that lead to anomalous diffusion, particularly when the perturbation parameters are comparatively large. The obtained results allow us to discuss the validity of several approximations and assumptions usually introduced to derive a local diffusion coefficient in multidimensional near--integrable Hamiltonian systems, in particular the so-called reduced stochasticity approximation.
