Kepler problem  

Definición

  • In classical mechanics, the Kepler problem is a special case of the two-body problem, in which the two bodies interact by a central force F that varies in strength as the inverse square of the distance r between them. The force may be either attractive or repulsive. The problem is to find the position or speed of the two bodies over time given their masses, positions, and velocities. Using classical mechanics, the solution can be expressed as a Kepler orbit using six orbital elements. (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler_problem)
