Most periodic systems are governed by short-range interactions as long-range interactions in these systems diminish uniformly. In this letter, however, we demonstrate that this is not true for a more general class of systems, which possess…
Consider a finite system of competing Brownian particles on the real line. Each particle moves as a Brownian motion, with drift and diffusion coefficients depending only on its current rank relative to the other particles. A triple…
We explore the formation and relaxation of so-called quasi-stationary states (QSS) for particle distributions in three dimensions interacting via an attractive radial pair potential $V(r \rightarrow \infty) \sim 1/r^\gamma$ with $\gamma >…
Motivated by the rich variety of complex periodic and quasi-periodic patterns found in systems such as two-frequency forced Faraday waves, we study the interaction of two spatially periodic modes that are nearly resonant. Within the…
We consider a Celestial Mechanics model: the spin-orbit problem with a dissipative tidal torque, which is a singular perturbation of a conservative system. The goal of this paper is to show that it is possible to compute quasi-periodic…
In this work we introduce a planar restricted four-body problem where a massless particle moves under the gravitational influence due to three bodies following the eight figure choreography, and we explore some symmetric periodic orbits of…
Currently, the fifteen new periodic solutions of Newtonian three-body problem with equal mass were reported by \v{S}uvakov and Dmitra\v{s}inovi\'{c} (PRL, 2013) [1]. However, using a reliable numerical approach (namely the Clean Numerical…
The restricted three-body problem describes the motion of a massless particle under the influence of two primaries of masses $1-\mu$ and $\mu$ that circle each other with period equal to $2\pi$. For small $\mu$, a resonant periodic motion…
In the past two decades, since the discovery of the figure-8 orbit by Chenciner and Montgomery, the variational method has became one of the most popular tools for constructing new solutions of the $N$-body problem and its extended…
Quasi-crystals are aperiodic structures that present crystallographic properties which are not compatible with that of a single unit cell. Their revolutionary discovery in a metallic alloy, less than three decades ago, has required a full…
Since Poincar\'e, periodic orbits have been one of the most important objects in dynamical systems. However, searching them is in general quite difficult. A common way to find them is to construct families of periodic orbits which start at…
It is pointed out that there are now known four very close pairs of QSOs with separations < 5 arcsec and very different redshifts. Several estimates of the probability that they are accidental configurations range between 10^{-7} and 3.5 x…
In this paper, we investigate collision orbits of two identical bodies placed on the surface of a two-dimensional sphere and interacting via an attracting potential of the form $V(q)=-\cot(q)$, where $q$ is the angle formed by the position…
In this work, we study the continuation of a periodic orbit on a relatively large scale and discover the existence of convergence under certain conditions, which has profound significance in research on asteroids and can provide a total…
This paper shows the existence of a periodic orbit with singularity in the symmetric collinear four body problem. In each period of the orbit, there is a binary collision (BC) between the inner two bodies and a simultaneous binary collision…
The Sitnikov problem is a special case of the three-body problem. The system is known to be chaotic and has been studied by symbolic dynamics (J. Moser, Stable and random motions in dynamical systems, Princeton University Press, 1973). We…
The classical three-body harmonic system in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d>1$) with finite rest lengths and zero total angular momentum $L=0$ is considered. This model describes the dynamics of the $L=0$ near-equilibrium configurations of three point…
The orbits about Lagrangian equilibrium points are important for scientific investigations. Since, a number of space missions have been completed and some are being proposed by various space agencies. In light of this, we consider a more…
We explore two properties of backward orbits under semigroups of holomorphic self-maps in the unit disk. First, we prove that regular backward orbits are quasi-geodesics for the hyperbolic distance of the unit disk. Then, we show that…
The quasi-relativistic harmonic oscillator bound states constructed by Znojil (J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 29 (1999)2905) are investigated via a new methodical proposal. Compared with those obtained by an anonymous referee (from a direct…
