Undergrad Can Dynamical Systems Explain Electron Behavior in Hydrogen Atoms?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on whether dynamical systems can describe electron behavior in hydrogen atoms. Initial inquiries about the term "dynamical system" were met with requests for clarification, as it was deemed too vague. The poster attempted to specify their interest in analytical mechanics and referenced Poincare and Birkhoff's work. However, the lack of specific examples or references led to frustration among participants. Ultimately, the thread faced closure due to insufficient detail provided for meaningful discussion.

What do you mean by this? "Dynamical system" is extremely vague.

I mean analytical mechanics - differential dynamical system.

Still way too vague. Perhaps if you gave a specific example of the kind of thing you mean, it would help.
 
I mean the dynamical system studied by Poincare and Birkhoff et.al.

Please give a specific reference. Otherwise this thread will be closed since we can't answer your question if we don't know what you are talking about.
 
Thanks.

I take it you mean, you are either unable or unwilling to provide any more specific information. In that case, this thread is closed.
