Generalized Fractional Two Body Problem

F. A. Abd El-Salam

Abstract


The two body problem using the fractional calculus is reformulated. The fractional equation of motion of two body problem is constructed and then solved. The integrals of motion are re-investigated. A very new conclusion about the trajectory on which the motion of the center of mass takes place is revealed. The center of mass moves along a nonlinear path regardless the index of the fractional derivative except at alfa = 1. The classical results of two body problem are verified when alfa = 1. The specific angular momentum and total energy are conserved. But the potential of the point mass is corrected with a numerical factor given by equation (2.16) in the text.

Keywords


Fractional velocity and acceleration, Fractional integrals of motion.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
