For the power-law potential $n$-body problem, we study a special kind of central configurations where all the masses lie on a circle and the center of mass coincides with the center of the circle. It is also called the centered co-circular…

We prove existence and multiplicity of periodic motions for the forced 2-body problem under conditions of topological character. In the different cases, the lower bounds obtained for the number of solutions are related to the winding number…

Central configurations and relative equilibria are an important facet of the study of the $N$-body problem, but become very difficult to rigorously analyze for $N>3$. In this paper we focus on a particular but interesting class of…

We solve the N-body problems in which the total potential energy is any function of the mass-weighted root-mean-square radius of the system of N point masses. The fundamental breathing mode of such systems vibrates non-linearly for ever. If…

We prove the existence of infinitely many radial solutions for elliptic systems in Rn with power weights. A key tool for the proof will be a weighted imbedding theorem for fractional-order Sobolev spaces, that could be of independent…

For the curved n-body problem in S^3, we show that a regular polygonal configuration for n masses on a geodesic is an equilibrium configuration if and only if n is odd and the masses are equal. The equilibrium configuration is associated…

The elliptic restricted three body problem has been well studied. However, the previous formulations of the problem have used a rotating coordinate system to keep the positions of the primary and secondary on the x-axis. This requires the…

The relative equilibria of planar Newtonian $N$-body problem become coorbital around a central mass in the limit when all but one of the masses becomes zero. We prove a variety of results about the coorbital relative equilibria, with an…

In this paper we consider nonlinear elliptic PDEs of the type $$-\Delta_p u+a(x)|u|^{p-2}u=|u|^{p^*-2}u \qquad \mbox{ in }\Omega,$$ where $1<p<N$ and $p^*=Np/(N-p)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, and allowing the asymptotic behavior of…

The Newtonian n-Body Problem is modified assuming positive inertial masses but different sign for the interacting force which is assumed with the possibility of two different signs for the gravitational masses, according to the prescription…

It is well known that the three-body problem has few analytical solutions in certain symmetrical constraints; the Lagrangian triangular solution is one of them. This triangular solution has been revisited by R.Broucke and H.Lass in 1971,…

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…

We prove, under suitable non-resonance and non-degeneracy ``twist'' conditions, a Birkhoff-Lewis type result showing the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions, with larger and larger minimal period, accumulating onto elliptic…

A solution of the n-body problem in R^d is a relative equilibrium if all of the mutual distance between the bodies are constant. In other words, the bodies undergo a rigid motion. Here we investigate the possibility of partially rigid…

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…
