  1. Undecidability in Rn: Riddled basins, the KAM tori, and the stability of the solar system.Matthew W. Parker - 2003 - Philosophy of Science 70 (2):359-382.
    Some have suggested that certain classical physical systems have undecidable long-term behavior, without specifying an appropriate notion of decidability over the reals. We introduce such a notion, decidability in (or d- ) for any measure , which is particularly appropriate for physics and in some ways more intuitive than Ko's (1991) recursive approximability (r.a.). For Lebesgue measure , d- implies r.a. Sets with positive -measure that are sufficiently "riddled" with holes are never d- but are often r.a. This explicates Sommerer (...)

  • Poincaré, creador de los métodos todavía modernos en las ecuaciones diferenciales y en la mecánica celeste.Amadeu Delshams I. Valdés - 2004 - Arbor 178 (704):669-689.
    Con motivo del sesquicentenario del nacimiento de Henri Poincaré, resulta impresionante comprobar la influencia actual de su obra, así como el gran adelanto de sus métodos e ideas respecto a las de los científicos coetáneos. En esta conferencia se repasan algunas de sus contribuciones principales a las ecuaciones diferenciales y ala mecánica celeste, y se discute el papel central que tuvo en éstas su memoria sobre el problema de tres cuerpos presentada en 1889 a un concurso para conmemorar el sexagésimo (...)

  • Gestalt switches in Poincaré׳s prize paper: An inspiration for, but not an instance of, chaos.Lena Christine Zuchowski - 2014 - Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part B: Studies in History and Philosophy of Modern Physics 47 (C):1-14.
    I analyse in detail the construction of asymptotic surfaces in Sections 16–19 of Poincaré, also known as the prize paper. There are two prime reasons for doing so. Firstly, this part of the prize paper contains an interesting argumentative strategy, which I call Poincaré׳s gestalt switch. Secondly, it has been claimed that the prize paper contains one of the first descriptions of chaotic motion. I will argue that the latter claim is false, although both the gestalt switches and the graphical (...)
