Symmetric Relative Equilibria in the Four-Vortex Problem with Three Equal Vorticities

Mathematical Physics 2017-10-10 v1 math.MP

Abstract

We examine in detail the relative equilibria of the 4-vortex problem when three vortices have equal strength, that is, Γ1=Γ2=Γ3=1\Gamma_{1} = \Gamma_{2} = \Gamma_{3} = 1, and Γ4\Gamma_{4} is a real parameter. We give the exact number of relative equilibria and bifurcation values. We also study the relative equilibria in the vortex rhombus problem.
