Dynamical systems given by quasihomogeneous potentials


Quasihomogeneous functions are given by sums of homogeneous functions. They have wide applications in physics (Liboff and Coulomb potentials), astronomy (Newton and Manev potentials), and chemistry (Van der Waals and Lennrad-Jones potentials. The goal of this talk is to present some qualitative properties of dynamical systems given by quasihomogeneous potentials.
