Heliocentric Solar Sail Orbit Transfers with Locally Optimal Control Laws

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a trajectory generation method for a solar sailing mission with the absence of reaction mass from the primary propulsion system, such as a Solar Polar Orbiter or an Interstellar Heliopause Probe.

Polar rotation angle identifies elliptic islands in unsteady dynamical systems

TL;DR: In this article, the polar decomposition of the flow gradient is used as a diagnostic for elliptic invariant regions in non-autonomous dynamical systems, where the authors consider two-dimensional systems and derive explicit formulas using the singular values and vectors of flow gradient.

Strictures of a microchannel impose fierce competition to select for highly motile sperm

TL;DR: Motility-based competition dynamics at microfluidic strictures suggests a sperm-selection mechanism in the reproductive tract and investigates sperm locomotion in the presence of external fluid flow and geometries simulating the female reproductive tract to lead to a better understanding of sperm motion during fertilization.

Comparing Numerical Methods for Ordinary Differential Equations

TL;DR: According to criteria involving the number of function evaluations, overhead cost, and reliability, the best general-purpose method, if function evaluations are not very costly, is one due to Bulirsch and Stoer, however, when function evaluated methods are relatively expensive, variable-order methods based on Adams formulas are best.

Coefficients for the study of Runge-Kutta integration processes

TL;DR: In this paper, a set of η first order simultaneous differential equations in the dependent variables y 1, y 2, y 3, y 4, y 5, y 6 and the independent variable x is considered.
