Ejs Hénon-Heiles Poincare Model 

written by Juan Aguirregabiria
edited by Wolfgang Christian

The Ejs Hénon-Heiles Poincare model computes the solutions to the non-linear Hénon-Heiles Hamiltonian, which reads, ½ (px2 + py2  + x2 +  y2) + x2 y – 1/3 y3.  The simulation displays a three-dimensional plot of phase space for the y dimension and the projection of the plane where x = 0 showing the Poincare section.  The evolution parameters can be changed via textboxes.  You can modify this simulation if you have Ejs installed by right-clicking within the plot and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.  

Ejs Hénon-Heiles Poincare model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (Ejs) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.  Double clicking the ejs_ehu_chaos_Henon_Poincare.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  Ejs is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models.  Additional Ejs models for non-linear dynamics and chaos are available.  They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Ejs.
