oprydningsfaktor
Oprydningsfaktor, often translated as "tidiness factor" or "cleanup factor," is a concept primarily used in the field of physics and astronomy, particularly in the study of chaotic systems and celestial mechanics. It quantifies how quickly a system, such as a solar system or a collection of particles, settles into a stable configuration or disperses. A high oprydningsfaktor indicates rapid stabilization or dispersion, while a low factor suggests a system remains in a chaotic or unstable state for a longer period.
The term is most famously associated with the work of astronomer and mathematician Jacques Laskar. He used
The calculation of the oprydningsfaktor typically involves numerical simulations of the system's dynamics over extended periods.
