Integrability of Boltzmann's discontinuous gravitational system

University essay from KTH/Fysik

Abstract: A dynamical system originally invented by Boltzmann has had recent developments. The system consists of a particle in a gravitational potential with an added centrifugal force, which is subject to reflection against a wall that separates the system from the gravitational center. The recent developments are with regards to the integrability of the system in the special case of vanishing centrifugal term. The purpose of this essay is to explicate these developments.
