We consider the curved 4-body problems on spheres and hyperbolic spheres. After obtaining a criterion for the existence of quadrilateral configu- rations on the equator of the sphere, we study two restricted 4-body problems, one in which…
The plane case of central configurations with four different masses is analyzed theoretically and is computed numerically. We follow Dziobek's approach to four body central configurations with a direct implicit method of our own in which…
In this paper, we consider the elliptic collinear solutions of the classical $n$-body problem, where the $n$ bodies always stay on a straight line, and each of them moves on its own elliptic orbit with the same eccentricity. Such a motion…
Consider the planar three-body problem with masses positive $m_1,m_2,m_3$ position vector $q(t) = (q_1(t),q_2(t),q_3(t))\in\mathbb{R}^6$. Let $$U(q) = \frac{m_1m_2}{r_{12}}+\frac{m_1m_3}{r_{13}}+\frac{m_2m_3}{r_{23}}$$ where…
The restricted three body problem is well-known and very important for dynamics of binary, multiple stars and also planetary systems. We extend the classical version of this problem to the situation that there are some external forces from…
For the Newtonian (gravitational) $n$-body problem in the Euclidean $d$-dimensional space, the simplest possible solutions are provided by those rigid motions (homographic solutions) in which each body moves along a Keplerian orbit and the…
It is shown that in the planar equal-mass four-body problem, there exist two sets of new action minimizers connecting two planar boundary configurations with fixed symmetry axes and specific order constraints on the four bodies: a double…
We consider a symmetric five-body problem with three unequal collinear masses on the axis of symmetry. The remaining two masses are symmetrically placed on both sides of the axis of symmetry. Regions of possible central configurations are…
The dynamics of the 4-body problem allows for two binary collisions to occur simultaneously. It is known that in the collinear 4-body problem this simultaneous binary collision (SBC) can be block-regularised, but that the resulting block…
In this work, we perform a first study of basic invariant sets of the spatial Hill's four-body problem, where we have used both analytical and numerical approaches. This system depends on a mass parameter mu in such a way that the classical…
A Hamiltonian that approaches the study of the three-body problem in general relativity is obtained. We use it to study the relativistic version of the circular restricted three-body problem in which the first body is the heaviest and the…
By introducing simple topological constraints and applying a binary decomposition method, we show the existence of a set of prograde double-double orbits for any rotation angle $\theta \in (0, \pi/7]$ in the equal-mass four-body problem. A…
Consider four point particles with equal masses in the euclidean space, subject to the following symmetry constraint: at each instant they are symmetric with respect to the dihedral group $D_2$, that is the group generated by two rotations…
In this paper, we intend to investigate the dynamics of the Circular Restricted Three-Body Problem. Here we assumed the primaries as the source of radiation and have variable mass. The gravitational perturbation from disk-like structure are…
We consider the Earth-Moon planar circular restricted three body problem and present a proof of the existence orbits, which approach arbitrarily close to one of the primary masses, and at the same time after each approach they move away…
Normal forms of Hamiltonian are very important to analyze the nonlinear stability of a dynamical system in the vicinity of invariant objects. This paper presents the normalization of Hamiltonian and the analysis of nonlinear stability of…
The classical equations of the Newtonian 3-body problem do not only define the familiar 3-dimensional motions. The dimension of the motion may also be 4, and cannot be higher. We prove that in dimension 4, for three arbitrary positive…
We study the bifurcations of central configurations of the Newtonian four-body problem when some of the masses are equal. First, we continue numerically the solutions for the equal mass case, and we find values of the mass parameter at…
We study the influence of relativity on the chaotic properties and dynamical outcomes of an unstable triple system; the Pythagorean three-body problem. To this end, we extend the Brutus N-body code to include Post-Newtonian pairwise terms…
We derive the conservative part of the Lagrangian and the energy of a gravitationally bound two-body system at fourth post-Newtonian order, up to terms quadratic in the Newton constant. We also show that such terms are compatible with…
