3D homogeneous potentials generating two-parametric families of orbits on the outside of a material concentration
We study three-dimensional homogeneous potentials V = V ( x , y , z ) of degree m which are created outside a finite concentration of matter and they produce a preassigned two-parametric family of spatial regular orbits given in the solved form f ( x , y , z ) = c 1 , g ( x , y , z ) = c 2 ( c...

= {\rm const}). These potentials have to satisfy three linear PDEs; two of them come from the Inverse Problem of Newtonian Dynamics and the last one is the well-known ”
Laplace’s equation
”. Our aim is to find common solutions for these three PDEs. Besides that we consider that the functions
f
and
g
are also homogeneous in the variables
x
,
y
,
z
of any degree and can be represented uniquely by the ”
slope functions
”
α
(
x
,
y
,
z
)
and
β
(
x
,
y
,
z
)
which are homogeneous of zero degree. Then, we impose three differential conditions on the orbital functions (
α
,
β
). If they are satisfied for a specific value of
m
, then we can find the potential by quadratures. The values obtained for
m
so far are consistent with familiar gravitational and electrostatic and quadratic potentials. Finally, pertinent examples are given and cover all the cases. |
