Abstract

In this paper,we study spatial central configurations where N bodies are at the vertices of a regular N-gon TT and the other 4 bodies are symmetrically located on the straight line that is perpendicular to the plane that contains TT and passes through the center of TT.We study the necessary conditions about masses for the bodies which can form a central configuration and show the existence of central configurations for Newtonian N+4-body problems.
