Fixed points represent equilibrium states, stability, and solutions to a range of problems. It has been an active field of research. In this paper, we provide an overview of the main branches of fixed point theory. We discuss the key…
We study central configurations in the four body problem, i.e., configurations in which the forces on all the bodies point to a fixed, single point in space. The newly formulated pair-space formalism yields a set of vectorial equations that…
We give a computer assisted proof of the full listing of central configuration for $n$-body problem for Newtonian potential on the plane for $n=5,6,7$ with equal masses. We show all these central configurations have a reflective symmetry…
We review and develop the classical theory of moments of configurations of weighted points with a focus on systems with an identically vanishing first moment. The latter condition produces equations for equilibrium configurations of systems…
In this paper we discuss the central configurations of the Trapezoidal four-body Problem. We consider four point masses on the vertices of an isosceles trapezoid with two equal masses $m_1=m_4$ at positions $(\mp 0.5, r_B)$ and $m_2=m_3$ at…
In this paper,we study spatial central configurations where N bodies are at the vertices of a regular N-gon $T$ and the other 4 bodies are symmetrically located on the straight line that is perpendicular to the plane that contains $T$ and…
A new coordinate system on the tangent space to planar configurations is introduced to simplify some calculations on central configurations and relative equilibria in the $N$-body problem with a homogeneous potential, which includes the…
This paper revisits the well-studied fixed point problem from a unified viewpoint of mathematical modeling and canonical duality theory, i.e. the original problem is first reformulated as a nonconvex optimization problem, its well-posedness…
In this paper we present some fixed-figure theorems as a geometric approach to the fixed-point theory when the number of fixed points of a self-mapping is more than one. To do this, we modify the Jleli-Samet type contraction and define new…
The main result of this paper is the existence of a new family of central configurations in the Newtonian spatial seven-body problem. This family is unusual in that it is a simplex stacked central configuration, i.e the bodies are arranged…
We compute the fixed point index of non-degenerate central configurations for the $n$-body problem in the euclidean space of dimension $d$, relating it to the Morse index of the gravitational potential function $\bar U$ induced on the…
Scale invariance has received very little attention in physics. Nevertheless, it provides a natural conceptual foundation for a relational understanding of the universe, where absolute size loses meaning and only dimensionless ratios retain…
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 study central configurations lying on a common circle in the Newtonian four-body problem. Using a topological argument we prove that there is at most one co-circular central configuration for each cyclic ordering of the masses on the…
We consider the finiteness problem for central configurations of the $n-$body problem. We prove that, for $n\geq4$, there exists a (Zariski) closed subset $B$ in the mass space $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, such that if $(m_1,...,m_n) \in…
The main purpose of this paper is to find the fixed point in such cases where existing literature remain silent. In this paper we introduce partial completeness, a new type of contraction and many other definitions. Using this approach the…
This research investigates centered co-circular central configurations in the general power-law potential $n$-body problem. Firstly, there are no such configurations when all masses are equal, except for two; secondly, unless all masses are…
Two numerical algorithms for analyzing planar central and balanced configurations in the $(n+1)$-body problem with a small mass are presented. The first one relies on a direct solution method of the $(n+1)$-body problem by using a…
The main aim of this paper is to study of fixed point theory in partial cone metric spaces. Infact, some common fixed point theorems for two mappings in partial cone metric spaces are obtained.
Various many-body models are treated, which describe $N$ points confined to move on a plane circle. Their Newtonian equations of motion ("accelerations equal forces") are integrable, i. e. they allow the explicit exhibition of $N$ constants…
