Inverse Kepler equationEdit
The inverse Kepler equation is the solution of Kepler's equation for all real values of {\displaystyle e}
:
{\displaystyle E={\begin{cases}\displaystyle \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {M^{\frac {n}{3}}}{n!}}\lim _{\theta \to 0^{+}}\!{\Bigg (}{\frac {\mathrm {d} ^{\,n-1}}{\mathrm {d} \theta ^{\,n-1}}}{\bigg (}{\bigg (}{\frac {\theta }{\sqrt[{3}]{\theta -\sin(\theta )}}}{\bigg )}^{\!\!\!n}{\bigg )}{\Bigg )},&e=1\\\displaystyle \sum _{n=1}^{\infty }{\frac {M^{n}}{n!}}\lim _{\theta \to 0^{+}}\!{\Bigg (}{\frac {\mathrm {d} ^{\,n-1}}{\mathrm {d} \theta ^{\,n-1}}}{\bigg (}{\Big (}{\frac {\theta }{\theta -e\sin(\theta )}}{\Big )}^{\!n}{\bigg )}{\Bigg )},&e\neq 1\end{cases}}}
Evaluating this yields:
{\displaystyle E={\begin{cases}\displaystyle s+{\frac {1}{60}}s^{3}+{\frac {1}{1400}}s^{5}+{\frac {1}{25200}}s^{7}+{\frac {43}{17248000}}s^{9}+{\frac {1213}{7207200000}}s^{11}+{\frac {151439}{12713500800000}}s^{13}+\cdots {\text{ with }}s=(6M)^{1/3},&e=1\\\\\displaystyle {\frac {1}{1-e}}M-{\frac {e}{(1-e)^{4}}}{\frac {M^{3}}{3!}}+{\frac {(9e^{2}+e)}{(1-e)^{7}}}{\frac {M^{5}}{5!}}-{\frac {(225e^{3}+54e^{2}+e)}{(1-e)^{10}}}{\frac {M^{7}}{7!}}+{\frac {(11025e^{4}+4131e^{3}+243e^{2}+e)}{(1-e)^{13}}}{\frac {M^{9}}{9!}}+\cdots ,&e\neq 1\end{cases}}}
