Dynamics of Comets and Asteroids and Their Role in Earth History: Proceedings of a Workshop held at the Dynic Astropark 'Ten-Kyu-Kan', August 14-18, 1997

The last decade of this century has seen a renewed interest in the dynamics and physics of the small bodies of the Solar System, Asteroids, Comets and Meteors. New observational evidences such as the discovery of the Edgeworth-Kuiper belt, refined numerical tools such as the symplectic integrators, analytical tools such as semi-numerical perturbation algorithms and in general a better understanding of the dynamics of Hamiltonian systems, all these factors have converged to make possible and...
