Suppose that the initial triangle formed by the three moving masses of the three-body problem is similar to the triangle formed at some later time. We derive a simple integral formula for the overall rotation relating the two triangles. The…
We investigate the relationship between rigid motions and relative equilibria in the N-body problem on the two-dimensional sphere, S2. We prove that any rigid motion of the N-body system on S2 must be a relative equilibrium. Our approach…
We examine various generalizations, e.g. exactly solvable, quasi-exactly solvable and non-Hermitian variants, of a quantum nonlinear oscillator. For all these cases, the same mass function has been used and it has also been shown that the…
