Recent calculation of the Perihelion precession of Mercury

There have been more recent calculations of the motion of the planet Mercury by Russian scientists. These calculations use the same multi-body calculations used in the past, but also using a eight step to calculate the precession of the perihelion of Mercury:

1) differential equations of motion and their solution method. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

2) developed a computer program (Galactica).[9]

3) derived formulae for geometric transformations.[10]

4) velocity of perihelion rotation relative to motionless space. .[11][12]

5) exact solution of axisymmetrical problem of n-bodies. [13]

6) developed a compound model of body rotation (i.e. rotation of axisymmetrical masses).[14][15][16][17]

7) calculated the action of compound model of rotating mass body on a satellite.[18]

8) calculated the action of the Solar System on Mercury's orbit.[19]

Table 2 - Sources of the precession of perihelion for Mercury using the Sun's rotation
Amount (arcsec/Julian century) Explaination
Based on Observational Data
-5028.82 [20] Velocity of movement of vernal equinox point relative to motionless space
5603.0 [21] Velocity of perihelion rotation relative to the mobile vernal equinox point with including velocities changes of ecliptic and of Mercury orbit
582.53 [22] Velocity of perihelion rotation relative to motionless space
By results of interaction under the Newton law of gravity. Velocity of rotation of a perihelion relative to motionless space
529.86 – [23](table 1 above) Planets and the Sun interact as material points
582[24] Planets interact as material points, and the oblateness and rotation of the Sun is taken into account as compound model
Conclusions
0.53 [25] Discrepancy with just Newtonian Mechanics (calculated difference between Newton theory and actual precession)
42.98 ±0.04 [26][27] General relativity
42.45 Discrepancy with General Relativity (calculated difference between GR theory and actual precession)

'=======================================================================
Therefore, the observed velocity of perihelion rotation relative to motionless space is a solely determined interaction using Newton's law of universal gravitation.
