We consider the special case of the restricted circular three-body problem, when the two primaries are of equal mass, while the third body of negligible mass performs oscillations along a straight line perpendicular to the plane of the…
It is well known that objects can oscillate around the Lagrangian point L4. In this manuscript we compute the period of these oscillations by computing the exact expression of the characteristic polynomial of the matrix that determined the…
It is well known that, from the Newtonian point of view, the Lagrangian point $L_4$ in the circular restricted three body is stable if $\mu< \frac{1}{18}(9-\sqrt{19})\approx 0.03852$. In this paper we will provide a formula that allows us…
We consider the motion of point masses given by a natural extension of Newtonian gravitation to spaces of constant positive curvature. Our goal is to explore the spectral stability of tetrahedral orbits of the corresponding 4-body problem…
We study the dynamics of the collinear points in the planar, restricted three-body problem, assuming that the primaries move on an elliptic orbit around a common barycenter. The equations of motion can be conveniently written in a rotating…
We study a class of three-point functions on the de Sitter universe and on the asymptotic cone. A blending of geometrical ideas and analytic methods is used to compute some remarkable integrals, on the basis of a generalized star-triangle…
In the circular restricted three-body problem, low energy transit orbits are revealed by linearizing the governing differential equations about the collinear Lagrange points. This procedure fails when time-periodic perturbations are…
The one-loop long distance quantum corrections to the Newtonian potential imply tiny but observable effects in the restricted three-body problem of celestial mechanics, i.e., both at the Lagrangian points of stable equilibrium and at those…
The three-body problem is famously chaotic, with no closed-form analytical solutions. However, hierarchical systems of three or more bodies can be stable over indefinite timescales. A system is considered hierarchical if the bodies can be…
Librational motion in celestial mechanics is generally associated with the existence of stable resonant configurations and signified by the existence of stable periodic solutions and oscillation of critical (resonant) angles. When such an…
The elliptic restricted three body problem has been well studied. However, the previous formulations of the problem have used a rotating coordinate system to keep the positions of the primary and secondary on the x-axis. This requires the…
The objective of this work is to demonstrate the utility of Lyapunov functions in control synthesis for the purpose of maintaining and stabilizing a spacecraft in a circular orbit around the L4 point in the circular restricted three body…
We present a numerical study on the stability of all fourth- and fifth-order retrograde mean motion resonances (1/3, 3/1, 1/4, 4/1, 2/3, and 3/2) in the 3-body problem composed of a solar mass star, a Jupiter mass planet, and an additional…
In the present paper, using the first-order approximation of the $n$-body Lagrangian (derived on the basis of the post-Newtonian gravitational theory of Einstein, Infeld, and Hoffman), we explicitly write down the equations of motion for…
We study corotational wave maps from $(1+3)$-dimensional Minkowski space into the three-sphere. We establish the asymptotic stability of an explicitly known self-similar wave map under perturbations that are small in the critical Sobolev…
Within the framework of restricted four-body problem, we study the motion of an infinitesimal mass by assuming that the primaries of the system are radiating-oblate spheroids surrounded by a circular cluster of material points. In our…
We apply an algebraic method for studying the stability with respect to a set of conserved quantities for the problem of torque-free gyrostat. If the conditions of this algebraic method are not fulfilled then the Lyapunov stability cannot…

The well-posedness of the three dimensional Prandtl equation is an outstanding open problem due to the appearance of the secondary flow even though there are studies on analytic and Gevrey function spaces. This problem is raised as the…
