Stability of Orbits around a Spinning Body in a Pseudo-Newtonian Hill Problem

A. F. Steklain, P. S. Letelier

A pseudo-Newtonian Hill problem based on a potential proposed by Artemova et al. [Astroph. J. 461 (1996) 565] is presented. This potential reproduces some of the general relativist…

Possible scenario for MaVaN's as the only neutrino flavor conversion mechanism in the Sun

Pedro Cunha de Holanda

Mass Varying neutrino mechanisms were proposed to link the neutrino mass scale with dark energy, addressing the coincidence problem. In some scenarios this mass can present a depen…

Robust Network Coding in the Presence of Untrusted Nodes

Da Wang, Danilo Silva, Frank R. Kschischang

While network coding can be an efficient means of information dissemination in networks, it is highly susceptible to "pollution attacks," as the injection of even a single erroneou…
