We consider Hamiltonian functions of classical type, namely even and convex with respect to the generalized momenta. A brake orbit is a periodic solution of Hamilton's equations such that the generalized momenta are zero on two different…
A solution of the n-body problem in R^d is a relative equilibrium if all of the mutual distance between the bodies are constant. In other words, the bodies undergo a rigid motion. Here we investigate the possibility of partially rigid…

Euler's three-body problem is the problem of solving for the motion of a particle moving in a Newtonian potential generated by two point sources fixed in space. This system is integrable in the Liouville sense. We consider the Euler problem…
The three-body problem is famously chaotic, with no closed-form analytical solutions. However, hierarchical systems of three or more bodies can be stable over indefinite timescales. A system is considered hierarchical if the bodies can be…
In this note we study curves (arrangements) in the complex projective plane which can be considered as generalizations of free curves. We construct families of arrangements which are nearly free and possess interesting geometric properties.…
In the $n$-body problem, when bodies tend to a total collision, then its normalized shape curve converges to the set of normalized central configurations, which has $SO(3)$ symmetry in the planar case. This leaves a possibility that the…
In this paper we present in detail Newton's method and its modification, based on the Continuous analog of Newton's method for computing periodic orbits of the planar three-body problem. The linear system at each step of the method is…
We investigate the motion of a massless body interacting with the Maxwell relative equilibrium, which consists of n bodies of equal mass at the vertices of a regular polygon that rotates around a central mass. The massless body has three…
Linear equations with periodic coefficients describe the behavior of various dynamical systems. This studying is devoted to their applications to the planetary restricted three-body problem (RTBP). Here we consider the Laplace method for…
It is well known that the three-body problem has few analytical solutions in certain symmetrical constraints; the Lagrangian triangular solution is one of them. This triangular solution has been revisited by R.Broucke and H.Lass in 1971,…
