Analysis of the size of Solar system close to the state with zero total angular momentum via Sundman’s inequality

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we present a new mathematical approach or solving procedure for analysis of the Sundman’s inequality (for estimating the moment of inertia of the Solar system’s configuration) with the help of Lagrange-Jacobi relation, under additional assumption of decreasing of the total angular momentum close to the zero absolute magnitude in the final state of Solar system in a future. By assuming such the final state for Solar system, we have estimated the mean-size of Solar system R via analysis of the Sundman’s inequality. So, to answer the question “Does the ninth planet exist in Solar system?”, one should meet the two mandatory criteria for such the ninth planet, first is that it should have the negligible magnitude of inclination of its orbit with respect to the invariable plane. The second condition is that the orbit of the ninth planet should be located within the estimation for the mean-size of Solar system R.
