Theory

Mathematical background for the package. Each document below is a standalone derivation; the Quick Start and Internals pages cover the practical API counterpart.

Core Theory

  • Weber Electrodynamics — potential, force law, Lagrangian, Hamiltonian, and equations of motion in Gauss–Weber units
  • Semi-Explicit Symplectic Integrator — extended phase space, Strang splitting, symmetric projection via Lagrange multipliers (Jayawardana & Ohsawa 2021)
  • Initial Conditions — constructing valid q0/p0 for target orbits: two-body, symmetric N-body polygon, 3D rigid rotation, and Zöllner case; circular velocity, η_v velocity scale, energy–angular-momentum parameterisation
  • Regularization — Levi-Civita (2D) and KS (3D) coordinate transforms; mathematical derivations of the fictitious-time integration
  • Regularization Design — backend semantics, encounter dispatch, hysteresis, lifted-pair and adaptive-Cartesian step design, chain mode
