The paper is about the parking 3-sphere swimmer ($\text{sPr}_3$). This is a low-Reynolds number model swimmer composed of three balls of equal radii. The three balls can move along three horizontal axes (supported in the same plane) that…
A 3D pendulum consists of a rigid body, supported at a fixed pivot, with three rotational degrees of freedom. The pendulum is acted on by a gravitational force. Symmetry assumptions are shown to lead to the planar 1D pendulum and to the…
Lunar mean-motion resonances (MMRs) significantly shape cislunar dynamics beyond GEO, forming stable-unstable orbit pairs with corresponding intermingled chaotic and regular regions. The resonance zone is rigorously defined using the…

We review the orbital stability of the planar circular restricted three-body problem, in the case of massless particles initially located between both massive bodies. We present new estimates of the resonance overlap criterion and the Hill…
The restricted three body problem is well-known and very important for dynamics of binary, multiple stars and also planetary systems. We extend the classical version of this problem to the situation that there are some external forces from…

We study the shapes of compact connected 3-manifolds with connected smooth boundary in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space $\boldsymbol{R}^3$. We call them bounded domains. Since compact connected surfaces in $\boldsymbol{R}^3$ bound unique…
The Sitnikov problem is a special case of the restricted three-body problem where the primaries moves in elliptic orbits of the two-body problem with eccentricity $e\in [0,1[$ and the massless body moves on a straight line perpendicular to…
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals, in which solar-mass compact bodies spiral into supermassive black holes, are an important potential source for gravitational wave detectors. Because of the extreme mass-ratio, one can model these systems using…
[This is an expository article. I have submitted it to the American Mathematical Monthly.] The three-body problem defines a dynamics on the space of triangles in the plane. The shape sphere is the moduli space of oriented similarity classes…
In the planar three-body problem under Newtonian potential, it is well known that any masses, located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle generates a relative equilibrium, known as the Lagrange relative equilibrium. In fact, the…
We consider the 3-body problem in 3-dimensional spaces of nonzero constant Gaussian curvature and study the relationship between the masses of the Lagrangian relative equilibria, which are orbits that form a rigidly rotating equilateral…
The complex classification of trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) that are captured in mean-motion resonances (MMRs) and the constraint of their multiple origins are two significant open problems concerning the Solar System. The case-by-case…
This paper investigates the secular motion of a massless asteroid within the framework of the double-averaged elliptic restricted three-body problem. By employing Poincar\'e variables, we analyze the stability properties of asteroid orbits…
The gradual evolution of the restricted hierarchical three body problem is analyzed analytically, focusing on conditions of Kozai-Lidov Cycles that may lead to orbital flips from prograde to retrograde motion due to the octupole (third…
We propose a semianalytical method to compute the strengths on each of the three massive bodies participating in a three body mean motion resonance (3BR). Applying this method we explore the dependence of the strength on the masses, the…
In this paper, we extend the basic model of the restricted four-body problem introducing two bigger dominant primaries $m_1$ and $m_2$ as oblate spheroids when masses of the two primary bodies ($m_2$ and $m_3$) are equal. The aim of this…
We consider an infinite system of non overlapping globules undergoing Brownian motions in R^3. The term globules means that the objects we are dealing with are spherical, but with a radius which is random and time-dependent. The dynamics is…
