We investigate the dynamics of two point-like particles through the third post-Newtonian (3PN) approximation of general relativity. The infinite self-field of each point-mass is regularized by means of Hadamard's concept of ``partie…
In the planar three-body problem, we study solutions with zero initial velocity (brake orbits). Following such a solution until the three masses become collinear (syzygy), we obtain a continuous, flow-induced Poincar\'e map. We study the…
A very few three-dimensional (3D) periodic orbits of general three-body problem (with three finite masses) have been discovered since Newton mentioned it in 1680s. Using a high-accuracy numerical strategy we discovered 10,059…

We prove the existence of an almost full measure set of $(3n-2)$--dimensional quasi periodic motions in the planetary problem with $(1+n)$ masses, with eccentricities arbitrarily close to the Levi-Civita limiting value and relatively high…
We consider the planar three-body problem perturbed by a celestial body modeled as a time-dependent perturbation that decays in time. We assume that the motion of the celestial body is given and is unbounded with a non-zero asymptotic…
The classical equations of the Newtonian 3-body problem do not only define the familiar 3-dimensional motions. The dimension of the motion may also be 4, and cannot be higher. We prove that in dimension 4, for three arbitrary positive…
The regular-geometric-figure solution to the $N$-body problem is presented in a very simple way. The Newtonian formalism is used without resorting to a more involved rotating coordinate system. Those configurations occur for other kinds of…
We propose dynamic non-linear equations for moving surfaces in electromagnetic field. The field is induced by a material body with a boundary of the surface. Correspondingly the potential energy, set by the field at the boundary, can be…
