Rigidity conditions for a body considered as a discrete system of relativistic particles are proposed. They by themselves do not yet determine an evolution of the system, and some second-order equations must be added to them.…
The case of the planar circular restricted three-body problem where one of the two primaries has a stronger gravitational field with respect to the classical Newtonian field is investigated. We consider the case where two primaries have the…

The restricted planar four body problem describes the motion of a massless body under the Newtonian gravitational force of other three bodies (the primaries), of which the motion gives us general solutions of the three body problem. A…
We study the rhomboidal symmetric-mass 4-body problem in both a two-degree-of-freedom and a four-degree-of-freedom setting. Under suitable changes of variables in both settings, isolated binary collisions at the origin are regularizable.…
