Surfing on the edge: chaos versus near-integrability in the system of Jovian planets
We demonstrate that the system of Sun and Jovian planets, integrated for 200 Myr as an isolated five-body system using many sets of initial conditions all within the uncertainty bounds of their currently known positions, can display both chaos and near-integrability. The conclusion is consistent across four different integrators, including …
