The regularization of a new problem, namely the three-body problem, using 'similar' coordinate system is proposed. For this purpose we use the relation of 'similarity', which has been introduced as an equivalence relation in a previous…

The famous three-body problem can be traced back to Isaac Newton in 1680s. In the 300 years since this "three-body problem" was first recognized, only three families of periodic solutions had been found, until 2013 when \v{S}uvakov and…
