Abstract
We present variational characterizations of frozen planet orbits for the helium atom in the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian picture. They are based on a Levi-Civita regularization with different time reparametrizations for the two electrons and lead to nonlocal functionals. Within this variational setup, we deform the helium problem to one where the two electrons interact only by their mean values and use this to deduce the existence of frozen planet orbits.
期刊介绍:
The Nonlinear Analysis section of the Annales de l''Institut Henri Poincaré is an international journal created in 1983 which publishes original and high quality research articles. It concentrates on all domains concerned with nonlinear analysis, specially applicable to PDE, mechanics, physics, economy, without overlooking the numerical aspects.
