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…

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…
