Description
Summary:The anisotropic Kepler problem was introduced by Gutzwiller as a classical mechanical system which approximates the following quantum mechanical system: the study of bound states of an electron near a donor impurity of a semiconductor. As it is known the anisotropic Kepler problem exhibits many qualitative phenomena of interest in the theory of differential equations such as non-integrability and chaotic behaviour. This paper is essentially devoted to the qualitative analysis of this problem, and also surveys the recent techniques and results from it.
