We use numerical continuation and bifurcation techniques in a boundary value setting to follow Lyapunov families of periodic orbits. These arise from the polygonal system of $n$ bodies in a rotating frame of reference. When the frequency of…
This paper gives an analysis of the movement of n vortices on the sphere. When the vortices have equal circulation, there is a polygonal solution that rotates uniformly around its center. The main result concerns the global existence of…
We obtained new periodic solutions in the problems of three and four point vortices moving on a plane. In the case of three vortices, the system is reduced to a Hamiltonian system with one degree of freedom, and it is integrable. In the…
We study the existence of (relative) simple choreographies for a class of Hamiltonian systems describing the interaction of particles in the plane motivated mainly by the n-vortex type problem. In particular, by constructing choreographic…
The simplest solutions of the N-body problem --symmetric relative equilibria-- are shown to be organizing centers from which stem some recently studied classes of periodic solutions. We focus on the relative equilibrium of the equal-mass…

This paper gives an analysis of the movement of n+1 almost parallel filaments or vortices. Starting from a polygonal equilibrium of n vortices with equal circulation and one vortex at the center of the polygon, we find bifurcation of…
We study periodic solutions of the discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation (DNLSE) that bifurcate from a symmetric polygonal relative equilibrium containing $n$ sites. With specialized numerical continuation techniques and a varying…
The main problem is to understand and to find periodic symmetric orbits in the $n$-body problem, in the sense of finding methods to prove or compute their existence, and more importantly to describe their qualitative and quantitative…
Stationary equilibria of point vortices with arbitrary choice of circulations in a background flow are studied. Differential equations satisfied by generating polynomials of vortex configurations are derived. It is shown that these…
In (Fusco et. al., 2011) several periodic orbits of the Newtonian N-body problem have been found as minimizers of the Lagrangian action in suitable sets of T-periodic loops, for a given T>0. Each of them share the symmetry of one Platonic…
This paper deals with the existence of $N$ vortex patches located at the vertex of a regular polygon with $N$ sides that rotate around the center of the polygon at a constant angular velocity. That is done for Euler and (SQG)$_\beta$…
We consider the $N$-vortex problem on the sphere assuming that all vorticities have equal strength. We investigate relative equilibria (RE) consisting of $n$ latitudinal rings which are uniformly rotating about the vertical axis with…
We develop a systematic approach for proving the existence of choreographic solutions in the gravitational $n$ body problem. Our main focus is on spatial torus knots: that is, periodic motions where the positions of all $n$ bodies follow a…
We study orbits near collision in a non-autonomous restricted planar four-body problem. This restricted problem consists of a massless particle moving under the gravitational influence due to three bodies following the figure-eight…
In this paper we describe new classes of periodic solutions for point vortices on a plane and a sphere. They correspond to similar solutions (so-called choreographies) in celestial mechanics.
Non-linear oscillations of an elliptical cylinder, that can rotate about an axis that passes through its symmetry axle due to a torsional spring and hydrodynamic torque produced by the flow of a Newtonian fluid, were analysed in terms of a…
This article studies the N-vortex problem in the plane with positive vorticities. After an investigation of some properties for normalised relative equilibria of the system, we use symplectic capacity theory to show that, there exist…
We consider relative equilibrium solutions of the two-dimensional Euler equations in which the vorticity is concentrated on a union of finite-length vortex sheets. Using methods of complex analysis, more specifically the theory of the…
By introducing a new coordinate system, we prove that there are abundant new periodic orbits near relative equilibrium solutions of the N-body problem. We consider only Lagrange relative equilibrium of the three-body problem and…
