On the dynamical evolution of globular clusters
Michel Hénon
This paper is an English translation of Michel Hénon's thesis, "Sur l'évolution dynamique des amas globulaires" originally published in French in the Annales d'Astrophysique, Vol.…
Reconstruction of the early Universe as a convex optimization problem
Y. Brenier, U. Frisch, M. Henon +4
We show that the deterministic past history of the Universe can be uniquely reconstructed from the knowledge of the present mass density field, the latter being inferred from the 3…
A mechanical model for the transportation problem
Michel Henon
We describe a mechanical device which can be used as an analog computer to solve the transportation problem. In practice this device is simulated by a numerical algorithm. Tests sh…
Good rotations
M. Henon, J-M. Petit
Numerical integrations in celestial mechanics often involve the repeated computation of a rotation with a constant angle. A direct evaluation of these rotations yields a linear dri…
