With a wide range of prominent authors from the field of relativistic celestial mechanics, this first volume of a two-volume series consists of reviews on a multitude of advanced topics in the area, c
Astronomers and physicists discuss selected topics in relativistic celestial mechanics, a branch of modern gravitational physics that explores the fundamental structures of space-time by studying the
By focusing on the mostly used variational methods, this monograph aspires to give a unified description and comparison of various ways of constructing conserved quantities for perturbations and to st
