Jacobi Dynamics

A Unified Theory with Applications to Geophysics, Celestial Mechanics, Astrophysics and Cosmology

by V.I. Ferronsky, S.A. Denisik, S.V. Ferronsky ...

Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
In their approach to Earth dynamics the authors consider the fundamentals of Jacobi Dynamics (1987, Reidel) for two reasons. First, because satellite observations have proved that the Earth does not stay in hydrostatic equilibrium, which is the physical basis of today’s treatment of geodynamics. And secondly, because satellite data have revealed a relationship between gravitational moments and the ... Read more
