Abstract

A systematic numerical approach to solve the Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation is proposed in this paper. Advances in sparse collocation methods are utilized to develop an algorithm to obtain an approximate functional form for the generating function. By employing a family of trajectories in the domain of the relevant phase volume, the generating function is formulated that governs the transformation of coordinates to rectify the motion of a dynamical system. The utility of this method is demonstrated by obtaining a semi-analytic solution to the main problem in artificial satellite theory.
