We consider a specific piecewise rotation of the plane that is continuous on two half-planes, as studied by some authors like Boshernitzan, Goetz and Quas. If the angle belongs to the set $\{\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{2\pi}{3},\frac{\pi}{4}\}$, we…

We study three sub-problems of the N-body problem that have two degrees of freedom, namely the n-pyramidal problem, the planar double-polygon problem, and the spatial double-polygon problem. We prove the existence of several families of…
