We prove that equally spaced choreography solutions of a large class of $n$-body problems including the classical $n$-body problem and a subset of quasi-homogeneous $n$-body problems, have equal masses if the dimension of the space spanned…
Figure-eight solutions are solutions to planar equal mass three-body problem under homogeneous or inhomogeneous potentials. They are known to be invariant under the transformation group $D_6$: the dihedral group of regular hexagons.…
In this paper, we first describe how we can arrange any bodies on Figure-Eight without collision in a dense subset of $[0,T]$ after showing that the self-intersections of Figure-Eight will not happen in this subset. Then it is reasonable…
The present work studies the continuation class of the regular $n$-gon solution of the $n$-body problem. For odd numbers of bodies between $n = 3$ and $n = 15$ we apply one parameter numerical continuation algorithms to the energy/frequency…
We study a singular Hamiltonian system with an $\al$-homogeneous potential that contains, as a particular case, the classical $N$--body problem. We introduce a variational Morse--like index for a class of collision solutions and, using the…
We compute the Morse index of nodal radial solutions to the H\'enon problem \[\left\{\begin{array}{ll} -\Delta u = |x|^{\alpha}|u|^{p-1} u \qquad & \text{ in } B, \newline u= 0 & \text{ on } \partial B, \end{array} \right. \] where $B$…
We consider non-autonomous semilinear elliptic equations of the type \[ -\Delta u = |x|^{\alpha} f(u), \ \ x \in \Omega, \ \ u=0 \quad \text{on} \ \ \partial \Omega, \] where $\Omega \subset {\mathbb R}^2$ is either a ball or an annulus…
In the gravitation n-body Problem, a homothetic orbit is a special solution of the Newton's Equations of motion, in which each body moves along a straight line through the center of mass and forming at any time a central configuration. In…
This paper demonstrates the existence of twistless tori and the associated reconnection bifurcations and meandering curves in the planar circular restricted three-body problem. Near the Lagrangian equilibrium $\mathcal{L}_4$ a twistless…
This paper concerns the classical dynamics of three coupled rotors: equal masses moving on a circle subject to attractive cosine inter-particle potentials. It is a simpler variant of the gravitational three-body problem and also arises as…
We derive a monotonicity formula and classify finite Morse index solutions (positive or sign-changing, radial or not) to the following triharmonic Lane-Emden equation: \begin{equation}\nonumber (-\Delta)^3 u=|u|^{p-1}u \hbox{ in }…
We developed a method to calculate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the second derivative (Hessian) of action at choreographic three-body solutions that have the same symmetries as the figure-eight solution. A choreographic three-body…
In this paper we study the problem -\Delta u =\left(\frac{2+\alpha}{2}\right)^2\abs{x}^{\alpha}f(\lambda,u), & \hbox{in}B_1 \\ u > 0, & \hbox{in}B_1 u = 0, & \hbox{on} \partial B_1 where $B_1$ is the unit ball of $\R^2$, $f$ is a smooth…
This paper is Part I of a two-part series. We investigate bifurcation phenomena in Lagrangian systems with various boundary conditions and constraints, focusing on the interplay between Morse theory and the existence of multiple solutions…
We consider the Gelfand problem with rapidly growing nonlinearities in the two-dimensional bounded strictly convex domains. In this paper, we prove the uniformly boundedness of finite Morse index solutions. As a result, we show that there…
In the $N$-body problem, a simple choreography is a periodic solution, where all masses chase each other on a single loop. In this paper we prove that for the planar Newtonian $N$-body problem with equal masses, $N \ge 3$, there are at…
We construct 1-parameter families of well-known solutions to the Yamabe problem defined on Aloff-Wallach Spaces to determine bifurcation instants for these homogeneous spaces by examining changes in the Morse index of these metrics as the…
We generalise the semi-Riemannian Morse index theorem to elliptic systems of partial differential equations on star-shaped domains. Moreover, we apply our theorem to bifurcation from a branch of trivial solutions of semilinear systems,…
