Using a variational method, we exhibit a surprisingly simple periodic orbit for the newtonian problem of three equal masses in the plane. The orbit has zero angular momentum and a very rich symmetry pattern. Its most surprising feature is…
We have discussed non-linear stability in photogravitational non-planar restricted three body problem with oblate smaller primary. By photogravitational we mean that both primaries are radiating. We normalised the Hamiltonian using Lie…
We present a novel approach to establish the Birkhoff's theorem validity in the so-called quadratic Poincar\'e Gauge theories of gravity. By obtaining the field equations via the Palatini formalism, we find paradigmatic scenarios where the…
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…
In this note, we show there exist infinitely many trajectories which are bi-normal (i.e. normal at initial and final times) to the xz-plane, in the Spatial Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem, for energies below or slightly above the…
These notes are based on lectures held at the Lanzhou university (China) during a CIMPA summer school in july 2004 but benefit from recent devellopements. Our aim is to explain some perturbations technics that allow to study the long time…
A longstanding belief has been that the semimajor axes, in the Newtonian planetary problem, are stable. In the course of the XIX century, Laplace, Lagrange and others gave stronger and stronger arguments in this direction, thus culminating…
A pseudo-Newtonian Hill problem based on a potential proposed by Artemova et al. [Astroph. J. 461 (1996) 565] is presented. This potential reproduces some of the general relativistic effects due to the spin angular momentum of the bodies,…
This paper investigates the secular motion of a massless asteroid within the framework of the double-averaged elliptic restricted three-body problem. By employing Poincar\'e variables, we analyze the stability properties of asteroid orbits…
We prove a higher-dimensional version of the well-known Poincar\'e--Birkhoff theorem, using Floer homology. We also prove a relative version for Lagrangian submanifolds. The motivation is finding periodic orbits and Hamiltonian chords in…
We present a diffusion mechanism for time-dependent perturbations of autonomous Hamiltonian systems introduced in [25]. This mechanism is based on shadowing of pseudo-orbits generated by two dynamics: an `outer dynamics', given by…
We offer an analytical study on the dynamics of a two-body problem perturbed by small post-Newtonian relativistic term. We prove that, while the angular momentum is not conserved, the motion is planar. We also show that the energy is…
We investigate the long time stability in Nekhoroshev's sense for the Sun-Jupiter-Saturn problem in the framework of the problem of three bodies. Using computer algebra in order to perform huge perturbation expansions we show that the…
In this paper, a partial proof of a conjecture raised by Galaktionov and Svirshchevskii concerning existence and global uniqueness of an asymptotically stable periodic orbit in a fourth-order piecewise linear ordinary differential equation…
An important step in the proof of the Herman invariant tori conjecture was the introduction of a normal form with poles along the resonance loci, replacing the Birkhoff normal form, which we call the Hamiltonian normal form. This paper is…
We develop an analytical Hamiltonian formalism adapted to the study of the motion of two planets in co-orbital resonance. The Hamiltonian, averaged over one of the planetary mean longitude, is expanded in power series of eccentricities and…
A solvable many-body problem in the plane is exhibited. It is characterized by rotation-invariant Newtonian (``acceleration equal force'') equations of motion, featuring one-body (``external'') and pair (``interparticle'') forces. The…
The symmetric harmonic three-mass system with finite rest lengths, despite its apparent simplicity, displays a wide array of interesting dynamics for different energy values. At low energy the system shows regular behavior that produces a…
A normal form theory for non--quasi--periodic systems is combined with the special properties of the partially averaged Newtonian potential pointed out in [15] to prove, in the averaged, planar three--body problem, the existence of a plenty…
The full three-body problem, on the motion of three celestial bodies under their mutual gravitational attraction, is one of the oldest unsolved problems in classical mechanics. The main difficulty comes from the presence of unstable and…
