Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study the motion of 2+n2+n-body problem where two equal masses are assumed to be fixed. We assume that the value of each fixed mass is equal to M>0M>0 and the remaining nn moving particles have equal masses m>0m>0. According to Newton's second law and the universal gravitation law, the nn particles move under the interaction of each other and the affection of the two fixed particles. Also, this motion has a natural variational structure. Under the simple choreography constraint, we show that the Lagrangian action functional attains its absolute minimum on a uniform circular motion.
