In the framework of the planar restricted three body problem we study a considerable number of resonances associated to the Kuiper Belt dynamics and located between 30 and 48 a.u. Our study is based on the computation of resonant periodic…
We present a method for establishing invariant manifolds for saddle--center fixed points. The method is based on cone conditions, suitably formulated to allow for application in computer assisted proofs, and does not require rigorous…
The three-body problem has been studied for more than three centuries [1,2], and has received much attention in recent years [3-5]. It shows complex dynamical phenomena due to the mutual gravitational interaction of the three bodies. Triple…
We investigate the motion in space of an infinitesimal particle in the gravitational field generated by three primary bodies positioned at the vertices of a fixed equilateral triangle. We assume that the distances between the primaries are…
The three-body problem is arguably the oldest open question in astrophysics, and has resisted a general analytic solution for centuries. Various implementations of perturbation theory provide solutions in portions of parameter space, but…
We study a particular kind of chaotic dynamics for the planar 3-centre problem on small negative energy level sets. We know that chaotic motions exist, if we make the assumption that one of the centres is far away from the other two (see…
For the study of nonlinear stability of a dynamical system, normalized Hamiltonian of the system is very important to discuss the dynamics in the vicinity of invariant objects. In general, it represents a nonlinear approximation to the…

We prove a sufficient condition for nonlinear stability of relative equilibria in the planar $N$-vortex problem. This result builds on our previous work on the Hamiltonian formulation of its relative dynamics as a Lie--Poisson system. The…
We consider the problem of orbital stability of the motion of a test particle in the restricted three-body problem, by using the orbital moment and its time derivative. We show that it is possible to get some insight into the stability…
General properties of the three-body problem in a model of modified dynamics are investigated. It is shown that the three-body problem in this model shares some characters with the similar problem in Newtonian dynamics. Moreover, the planar…
We give stability estimates in the Cauchy problem for general partial differential equation of the elliptic type similar to the Helmholtz equation. We do not impose any (pseudo)convexity assumptions on the domain or the operator. These…
We conducted extensive numerical experiments of equal mass three-body systems until they became disrupted. The system lifetimes, as a bound triple, and the Lyapunov times show a correlation similarto what has been earlier obtained for small…
We employ a port-Hamiltonian approach to model nonlinear rigid multibody systems subject to both position and velocity constraints. Our formulation accommodates Cartesian and redundant coordinates, respectively, and captures kinematic as…
In this paper we use a Modified Newton's method based on the Continuous analog of Newton's method and high precision arithmetic for a general numerical search of periodic orbits for the planar three-body problem. We consider relatively…
By developing a unified approach based on integral representations, we establish sharp quantitative stability estimates for critical points of the fractional Sobolev inequalities induced by the embedding $\dot{H}^s({\mathbb R}^n)…
We construct a local Lipschitz graph around a soliton of the cubic focusing NLS in three dimensions on which global solutions exist, and asymptotic stability as well as scattering holds.
We consider the special case of the restricted circular three-body problem, when the two primaries are of equal mass, while the third body of negligible mass performs oscillations along a straight line perpendicular to the plane of the…
In this paper we analyse the well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a rather general class of hyperbolic systems with space-time dependent coefficients and with multiple characteristics of variable multiplicity. First, we establish a…
