The accelerated Kepler problem is obtained by adding a constant acceleration to the classical two-body Kepler problem. This setting models the dynamics of a jet-sustaining accretion disk and its content of forming planets as the disk loses…
The closedness of orbits of central forces is addressed in a three dimensional space in which the Poisson bracket among the coordinates is that of the SU(2) Lie algebra. In particular it is shown that among problems with spherically…

In this paper, we study a model of simplified four-body problem called planar two-center-two-body problem. In the plane, we have two fixed centers $Q_1=(-\chi,0)$, $Q_2=(0,0)$ of masses 1, and two moving bodies $Q_3$ and $Q_4$ of masses…
We present a global analysis of the center manifold of the collinear points in the circular restricted three-body problem. The phase-space structure is provided by a family of resonant 2-DOF Hamiltonian normal forms. The near 1:1…
It is shown in this study that deviations from the Einstein-Hilbert action at the quadratic level using a proper analyses and suitable dynamical variables lead to a tiny modification to the post-Newtonian equations of motion, and…
