Defining planets by a generating function
Ivan Kotliarov
TL;DR
This paper proposes a new criterion for defining planets based on a generating function of their semi-major axes, offering a mathematical perspective on planetary classification.
Contribution
It introduces a semi-major axes law as an additional criterion for planet definition, linking planetary distances to a generating function.
Findings
Identifies a semi-major axes law in the Solar system
Recommends the law as a new criterion for planet classification
Provides a mathematical basis for planetary distance distribution
Abstract
A law of semi-major axes in the Solar system is described. The proposed law is recommended as an additional criterion for planet definition as it represents a generating function of planetary distances.
