On the 2PN Pericentre Precession in the General Theory of Relativity and the Recently Discovered Fast-Orbiting S-Stars in Sgr A<sup>*</sup>

Recently, the secular pericentre precession was analytically computed to the second post-Newtonian (2PN) order by the present author with the Gauss equations in terms of the osculating Keplerian orbital elements in order to obtain closer contact with the observations in astronomical and astrophysica...
