Some properties of the periodic solution of the three-body problem where three particles of equal mass follow the same trajectory are discussed. This trajectory has the shape of a figure-8. The three particles have a constant separation in…
The problem of three particles interacting through harmonic forces is discussed within the Newtonian formalism. By means of a didactic approach, an exact analytical solution is found, and ways to extend it to the N-body case are pointed…
We study the change of phase space structure of the rectilinear three-body problem when the mass combination is changed. Generally, periodic orbits bifurcate from the stable Schubart periodic orbit and move radially outward. Among these…

The internal space for a molecule, atom, or other n-body system can be conveniently parameterised by 3n-9 kinematic angles and three kinematic invariants. For a fixed set of kinematic invariants, the kinematic angles parameterise a…
The problem of $N$ particles interacting through pairwise central forces is notoriously intractable for $N\geq3$. Some quite remarkable specific cases have been solved in one dimension, whereas higher-dimensional exactly solved systems…
We carry out a sequence of coordinate changes for the planar three-body problem which successively eliminate the translation and rotation symmetries, regularize all three double collision singularities and blow-up the triple collision.…
We present 1349 families of Newtonian periodic planar three-body orbits with unequal mass and zero angular momentum and the initial conditions in case of isosceles collinear configurations. These 1349 families of the periodic collisionless…
For some planar Newtonian $N+3$-body problems, we use variational minimization methods to prove the existence of new periodic solutions satisfying that $N$ bodies chase each other on a curve, and the other 3 bodies chase each other on…
The three-body problem is arguably the oldest open question in astrophysics, and has resisted a general analytic solution for centuries. Various implementations of perturbation theory provide solutions in portions of parameter space, but…
The Sitnikov problem is a special case of the three-body problem. The system is known to be chaotic and has been studied by symbolic dynamics (J. Moser, Stable and random motions in dynamical systems, Princeton University Press, 1973). We…
The motion of three bodies can be solved perturbatively when a tightly bound inner binary is orbited by a distant perturber, giving rise for example to the well-known Kozai-Lidov oscillations. We propose to study the relativistic…
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…
Three-body systems in two dimensions with zero-range interactions are considered for general masses and interaction strengths. The problem is formulated in momentum space and the numerical solution of the Schr\"odinger equation is used to…
This study presents a general alternative scheme of the procedure and necessary conditions for solving the $n$-body problem. The presented solution is not a solution of the classical problem, where the initial conditions of positions and…
