It is a modification of the usual Newtonian force law hypothesized in 1983 by Moti Milgrom of the Weizmann Institute as an alternative to Dark Matter.
MOND can be interpreted as either a modification of gravity through a change to the Poisson equation, or as a modification of inertia through a breaking of the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass.
The solar system is Newtonian out to about a tenth of a light year; all the substructure we are familiar with is well within this radius and matters not at all to the galactic motion.

 Modified Newtonian dynamics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is a physical theory which attempts to explain the galaxy rotation problem by changing Newton's law of motion.
Therefore, only the dynamics of galaxies and larger systems need be examined to check that MOND is compatible with observation.
For example, the dynamics of satellites of our Galaxy could be distorted by MOND effects, in a way difficult to explain with a dark matter halo.

Spectral eigenvalues and dynamical averages are computed by expanding spectral determinants into cycle expansions, expansions ordered by the topological lengths of periodic orbits.
The essence of this subject is incommunicable in print; the only way to developed intuition about chaotic dynamics is by computing, and you are urged to try to work through the essential steps in a project that combines the techniques learned in the course with some application of interest to you.

Newtonian physics, should be sufficient for the purpose.
One is confronted with a situation, where newtonian dynamics fails if only the luminous mass is considered to be the source of gravity.
Here, we propose to revise the newtonian equations of motion and of gravity by allowing for the fact that the gravitational field carries energy and entertain the notion that it could, at least partially, serve as its own source.

 Modified Newtonian dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1983, Mordehai Milgrom, a physicist at the Weizmann Institute in Israel, published two papers on the Astrophysical Journal to propose a modification of Newton's second law of motion.
According to the Modified Newtonian Dynamics theory, every physical process that involves small accelerations will have an outcome different from predicted by the simple law F=ma.
This approach is completely different from Einstein's, who assumed that some fundamental physical principles were true (continuity, smoothness and isotropy of space-time, conservation of energy, principle of equivalence) and derived new equations from these principles, including the famous E=mc² and the less famous but extremely powerful G=8πT.

 TCB Publications - Abstract
The method is derived from classical Newtonian Dynamics by the substitution of random variables for atomic velocities.
The resulting dynamics is equivalent to solving the Langevin equation of an overdamped system, obeys the Einstein relation and corresponds to a canonical ensemble description.
We argue that the probability distribution for the positions of atoms is reproduced better than by Newtonian dynamics, due to a neglect of quantum effects in the latter.

 Edge: THE WORLD QUESTION CENTER 2002
For an isolated dynamical system, such as we might reasonably conjecture the universe to be, three of the numbers are actually superfluous.
The idea is that the instantaneous intrinsic shape of the universe and the sense in which it is changing should be enough to specify a dynamical history of the universe.
Incidentally, the reason why 3-body dynamics is so utterly different from 2-body dynamics is that shape only enters the picture when N = 3.

 The Society of Rheology: 72nd Annual Meeting (Feb 2001) Paper FD8
Dynamics of drop formation is important in many applications including ink-jet printing, biochip arraying, spray coating, and crop spraying where the working fluid is often non-Newtonian.
Here we present a theoretical study of dynamics of formation and breakup of drops of non-Newtonian liquids from capillaries and compare their response to that of drops of Newtonian liquids.
The computations are carried out beyond the instant of first pinchoff to study the dynamics of any satellites that may be formed and interactions between the satellite(s), the primary drop, and the liquid mass hanging from the capillary.

 A Physico-social Theory Of Weberian Ideal-types:
The Newtonian Deconstruction Of Classical Sociology
Newton’s laws of motion thus transposed then become the mathematical basis for a rationalized dynamics of social systems in which the momentum, force, and action-reaction of physical systems are transformed into empirically identical—but causally differentiated—principles for social systems.
In this physical-to-social transposition of Newtonian law then, the id’s ‘mistaken’ expressions (Freudian slips) are simply random fluctuations in libido that the ego tends to suppress, which mistakes indicate to knowledgeable clinicians what the ego actually is doing—all protestations and deceptions to the contrary notwithstanding.
An equivalent ‘Comtean’ principle for sociological theory might be that the dynamics of social systems, in the limit as system complexity and uncertainty are reduced to those of physical systems, merge with and become indistinguishable from the dynamics of physical systems.

 SPENDULAP, Newtonian Dynamics; F. Ghorbel, J.B. Dabney
A clear and full understanding of Newtonian dynamics is essential to understanding of advanced techniques such as Lagrangian analysis.
Furthermore, the Newtonian approach is attractive in many situations because it automatically yields important information not readily available from other approaches, such as internal constraint forces and moments.
An important advantage of using the Newtonian approach is that it yields the constraint forces as a by-product of the equations of motion.

 Missing what?
Mordehai Milgrom (see Scientific American Aug. 2002) postulates a modification to Newtonian dynamics which reveals itself when accelerations are smaller than a given value that is proposed as a new constant of nature.
This modification is claimed to explain most features of galactic dynamics without recourse to dark matter, including the Tully-Fisher correlation between galaxy brightness and the orbital speeds of stars in the outskirts of spiral galaxies.
Those based on the effects of gravity (dynamics of stars determined from measurements of redshift) are ten times greater than those inferred from brightness.

 Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics
is found by damping the coefficient dynamics, so that kinetic energy is gradually removed and the coefficients eventually freeze in the ground-state configuration.
Car-Parrinello molecular dynamics (CPMD) is the integration of the fictitious wave function coefficient dynamics with the classical molecular dynamics by a single extended Lagrangian.
Of course, the dynamics of the nuclei in CPMD has only physical meaning if the electronic structure is close to its instantaneous ground-state at each step of the simulation.

 Newtonian Dynamics
It is no wonder that the first successes of Newtonian mechanics were in the celestial realm, namely in the predictions of planetary orbits.
In the Newtonian view, the tendency of objects to stop when we stop pushing on them is simply a consequence of frictional forces opposing the motion.
Friction, which is so important on the earth, is negligible for planetary motions, which is why Newtonian dynamics is more obviously valid for celestial bodies.

 Gravitational lensing and modified Newtonian dynamics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Gravitational lensing is most often used as a tool to investigate the distribution of (dark) matter in the universe, but, if the mass distribution is known a priori, it becomes, at least in principle, a powerful probe of gravity itself.
For example, modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) has no relativistic extension, and so makes no firm lensing predictions, but galaxy-galaxy lensing data can be used to empirically constrain the deflection law of a MONDian point-mass.
The implied MONDian lensing formalism is consistent with general relativity, in so far as the deflection experienced by a photon is twice that experienced by a massive particle moving at the speed of light.
