We study the influence of relativity on the chaotic properties and dynamical outcomes of an unstable triple system; the Pythagorean three-body problem. To this end, we extend the Brutus N-body code to include Post-Newtonian pairwise terms…
Continuing work initiated in an earlier publication [Ichita, Yamada and Asada, Phys. Rev. D 83, 084026 (2011)], we reexamine the post-Newtonian effects on Lagrange's equilateral triangular solution for the three-body problem. For three…
In this paper we define a small variation of the Taylor method and a formula for the global error of this new numerical method that allows us to keep track of the round-off error and does not require previous knowledge of the exact…
This paper investigates the restricted circular planar three-body problem. We prove that for every negative Jacobi constant of sufficiently large magnitude, the surface of unperturbed parabolic solutions breaks to induce homoclinic tangle…
We consider the plane 3 body problem with 2 of the masses small. Periodic solutions with near collisions of small bodies were named by Poincar\'e second species periodic solutions. Such solutions shadow chains of collision orbits of 2…
The aim of the present work is to reduce the secular solution around the triangular equilibrium points to periodic solution in the frame work of the generalized restricted thee-body problem. This model is generalized in sense that both the…
Employing techniques from scattering amplitudes and effective field theory, we model the dynamics of hierarchical triples, which are three-body systems composed of two bodies separated by a distance $r$ and a third body a distance $\rho$…

We provide an analytical approximation of a periodic solution of the three body problem in celestial mechanics, the so-called figure eight solution, discovered 1993 by C. Moore. This approximation has the form of a Fourier series whose…
A brief description of the novel approach towards solving few-body scattering problems in a finite-dimensional functional space of the $L_2$-type is presented. The method is based on the complete few-body continuum discretization in the…
A solution of the n-body problem in R^d is a relative equilibrium if all of the mutual distance between the bodies are constant. In other words, the bodies undergo a rigid motion. Here we investigate the possibility of partially rigid…
An improved hyperspherical harmonic method for the quantum three-body problem is presented to separate three rotational degrees of freedom completely from the internal ones. In this method, the Schr\"{o}dinger equation of three-body problem…
We study aspects of the quantum and classical dynamics of a $3$-body system in 3D space with interaction depending only on mutual distances. The study is restricted to solutions in the space of relative motion which are functions of mutual…
In this paper we describe a 1-dimensional family of initial conditions \Sigma that provides reduced periodic solution of the three body problem. This family \Sigma contains a bifurcation point and extend the periodic solution described in…
We study the equal-mass classical three rotor problem, a variant of the three body problem of celestial mechanics. The quantum $N$-rotor problem has been used to model chains of coupled Josephson junctions and also arises via a partial…
We show the existence of some infinite families of periodic solutions of the planar Newtonian n-body problem --with positive masses-- which are symmetric with respect to suitable actions of finite groups (under a strong--force assumption,…
Using a variational method, we exhibit a surprisingly simple periodic orbit for the newtonian problem of three equal masses in the plane. The orbit has zero angular momentum and a very rich symmetry pattern. Its most surprising feature is…
The restricted (equilateral) four-body problem consists of three bodies of masses m1, m2 and m3 (called primaries) lying in a Lagrangian configuration of the three-body problem i.e., they remain fixed at the apices of an equilateral…
In this paper we classify the central configurations of the circular restricted 4-body problem with three primaries at the collinear configuration of the 3-body problem and an infinitesimal mass. The case where the three primaries have the…
Consider the planar 3 Body Problem with masses $m_0,m_1,m_2>0$. In this paper we address two fundamental questions: the existence of oscillatory motions and of chaotic hyperbolic sets. In 1922, Chazy classified the possible final motions of…
