1.1Definitionoftheproblem

ThequestionofthestabilityofourSolarsystemhasbeendebatedoverseveralhundredyears，sincetheeraofNewton.Theproblemhasattractedmanyfamousmathematiciansovertheyearsandhasplayedacentralroleinthedevelopmentofnon-lineardynamicsandchaostheory.However，wedonotyethaveadefiniteanswertothequestionofwhetherourSolarsystemisstableornot.Thisispartlyaresultofthefactthatthedefinitionoftheterm‘stability’isvaguewhenitisusedinrelationtotheproblemofplanetarymotionintheSolarsystem.Actuallyitisnoteasytogiveaclear，rigorousandphysicallymeaningfuldefinitionofthestabilityofourSolarsystem.

Amongmanydefinitionsofstability，hereweadopttheHilldefinition（Gladman1993）:actuallythisisnotadefinitionofstability，butofinstability.Wedefineasystemasbecomingunstablewhenacloseencounteroccurssomewhereinthesystem，startingfromacertaininitialconfiguration（Chambers，Wetherill&Boss1996;Ito&Tanikawa1999）.AsystemisdefinedasexperiencingacloseencounterwhentwobodiesapproachoneanotherwithinanareaofthelargerHillradius.Otherwisethesystemisdefinedasbeingstable.HenceforwardwestatethatourplanetarysystemisdynamicallystableifnocloseencounterhappensduringtheageofourSolarsystem，about±5Gyr.Incidentally，thisdefinitionmaybereplacedbyoneinwhichanoccurrenceofanyorbitalcrossingbetweeneitherofapairofplanetstakesplace.Thisisbecauseweknowfromexperiencethatanorbitalcrossingisverylikelytoleadtoacloseencounterinplanetaryandprotoplanetarysystems（Yoshinaga，Kokubo&Makino1999）.OfcoursethisstatementcannotbesimplyappliedtosystemswithstableorbitalresonancessuchastheNeptune–Plutosystem.

1.2Previousstudiesandaimsofthisresearch

Inadditiontothevaguenessoftheconceptofstability，theplanetsinourSolarsystemshowacharactertypicalofdynamicalchaos（Sussman&Wisdom1988，1992）.Thecauseofthischaoticbehaviourisnowpartlyunderstoodasbeingaresultofresonanceoverlapping（Murray&Holman1999;Lecar，Franklin&Holman2001）.However，itwouldrequireintegratingoveranensembleofplanetarysystemsincludingallnineplanetsforaperiodcoveringseveral10Gyrtothoroughlyunderstandthelong-termevolutionofplanetaryorbits，sincechaoticdynamicalsystemsarecharacterizedbytheirstrongdependenceoninitialconditions.

Fromthatpointofview，manyofthepreviouslong-termnumericalintegrationsincludedonlytheouterfiveplanets（Sussman&Wisdom1988;Kinoshita&Nakai1996）.Thisisbecausetheorbitalperiodsoftheouterplanetsaresomuchlongerthanthoseoftheinnerfourplanetsthatitismucheasiertofollowthesystemforagivenintegrationperiod.Atpresent，thelongestnumericalintegrationspublishedinjournalsarethoseofDuncan&Lissauer（1998）.Althoughtheirmaintargetwastheeffectofpost-main-sequencesolarmasslossonthestabilityofplanetaryorbits，theyperformedmanyintegrationscoveringupto～1011yroftheorbitalmotionsofthefourjovianplanets.TheinitialorbitalelementsandmassesofplanetsarethesameasthoseofourSolarsysteminDuncan&Lissauerspaper，buttheydecreasethemassoftheSungraduallyintheirnumericalexperiments.Thisisbecausetheyconsidertheeffectofpost-main-sequencesolarmasslossinthepaper.Consequently，theyfoundthatthecrossingtime-scaleofplanetaryorbits，whichcanbeatypicalindicatoroftheinstabilitytime-scale，isquitesensitivetotherateofmassdecreaseoftheSun.WhenthemassoftheSunisclosetoitspresentvalue，thejovianplanetsremainstableover1010yr，orperhapslonger.Duncan&Lissaueralsoperformedfoursimilarexperimentsontheorbitalmotionofsevenplanets（VenustoNeptune），whichcoveraspanof～109yr.Theirexperimentsonthesevenplanetsarenotyetcomprehensive，butitseemsthattheterrestrialplanetsalsoremainstableduringtheintegrationperiod，maintainingalmostregularoscillations.
