In this paper we study the limit behavior of a family of chords on compact energy hypersurfaces of a family of Hamiltonians. Under the assumption that the energy hypersurfaces are all of contact type, we give results on the Omega limit set…
The aim of this paper is to numerically investigate the orbital dynamics of the circular planar restricted problem of five bodies. By numerically integrating several large sets of initial conditions of orbits we classify them into three…
In this paper we consider the planar circular restricted three body problem (PCRTBP), which models the motion of a massless body under the attraction of other two bodies, the primaries, which describe circular orbits around their common…
In this paper we show the existence of syzygies for all periodic orbits inside the bounded Hill's region of the planer circular restricted three-body problem with energy below the second critical value. The proof will follow some ideas of…
We study three sub-problems of the N-body problem that have two degrees of freedom, namely the n-pyramidal problem, the planar double-polygon problem, and the spatial double-polygon problem. We prove the existence of several families of…
In the $n$-body problem, when a~cluster of bodies tends to a collision, then its normalized shape curve converges to the set of normalized central configurations, which has $SO(2)$ symmetry in the planar case. This leaves a possibility that…
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…
We study the spatial isosceles three body problem, which is a system with two degrees of freedom after modulo the rotation symmetry. For certain choices of energy and angular momentum, we find some disk-like global surfaces of section with…
In the planar circular restricted three-body problem and for any value of the mass parameter $\mu \in (0,1)$ and $n\ge 1$, we prove the existence of four families of $n$-ejection-collision ($n$-EC) orbits, that is, orbits where the particle…
Although the free-fall three-body problem have been investigated for more than one century, however, only four collisionless periodic orbits have been found. In this paper, we report 234 collisionless periodic orbits of the free-fall…
We study the bifurcation structure of highly inclined near halo orbits with close approaches to the light primary, in the circular restricted three-body problem (CR3BP). Using a Hamiltonian formulation together with Moser regularization, we…
We perform an analytical study of the bifurcation of the halo orbits around the collinear points $L_1$, $L_2$, $L_3$ for the circular, spatial, restricted three--body problem. Following a standard procedure, we reduce to the center manifold…
We consider the planar circular equilateral restricted four body-problem where a test particle of infinitesimal mass is moving under the gravitational attraction of three primary bodies which move on circular orbits around their common…
We present a proof of the existence of a periodic orbit for the Newtonian six-body problem with equal masses. This orbit has three double collisions each period and no multiple collisions. Our proof is based on the minimization of the…
We give criteria for the existence of bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits in reversible Hamiltonian systems in terms of local equivariant Lagrangian Rabinowitz Floer homology. As an example, we consider the family of the direct…
The continuation of resonant periodic orbits from the restricted to the general three body problem is studied in a systematic way. Starting from the Keplerian unperturbed system we obtain the resonant families of the circular restricted…
In this note, we prove that below the first critical energy level, a proper combination of the Ligon-Schaaf and Levi-Civita regularization mappings provides a convex symplectic embedding of the energy surfaces of the planar rotating Kepler…
Since Poincar\'e, periodic orbits have been one of the most important objects in dynamical systems. However, searching them is in general quite difficult. A common way to find them is to construct families of periodic orbits which start at…
Consider a symplectic surface in a three-dimensional contact manifold with boundary on Reeb orbits (periodic orbits of the Reeb vector field). We assume that the rotation numbers of the boundary Reeb orbits satisfy a certain inequality, and…
The infinite spin problem concerns the rotational behavior of total collision orbits in the $n$-body problem. It has long been known that when a solution tends to total collision then its normalized configuration curve must converge to the…
