The number of central configurations in the four body problem was proved to be finite, first by Hampton and Moeckel, then by Albouy and Kaloshin, when the masses are all positive. We prove that the four-body central configurations are…
We develop computer assisted arguments for proving the existence of transverse homoclinic connecting orbits, and apply these arguments for a number of non-perturbative parameter and energy values in the spatial equilateral circular…
We study the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the fourth Pain\-lev\'e equation as the independent variable goes to infinity in its space of (complex) initial values, which is a generalisation of phase space described by Okamoto. We show…
We study singularities of the n-body problem in spaces of constant curvature and generalize certain results due to Painleve, Weierstrass, and Sundman. For positive curvature, some of our proofs use the correspondence between total collision…
In this paper, we discuss singular Neumann boundary problem for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations in one space dimension. Our boundary problem describes motion of a planar curve sliding along the boundary with a zero contact angle,…
We consider the elliptic three body problem as a perturbation of the circular problem. We show that for sufficiently small eccentricities of the elliptic problem, and for energies sufficiently close to the energy of the libration point L2,…
We discuss several conditions for four points to lie on a plane, and we use them to find new equations for four-body central configurations that use angles as variables. We use these equations to give novel proofs of some results for…
It is proved that the Painlev\'{e} VI equation $(PVI_{\al,\be,\ga,\de})$ for the special values of constants $(\al=\frac{\nu^2}{4},\be=-\frac{\nu^2}{4}, \ga=\frac{\nu^2}{4},\de=\f1{2}-\frac{\nu^2}{4})$ is a reduced hamiltonian system. Its…
Consider the Restricted Planar Circular 3 Body Problem with both realistic mass ratio and Jacobi constant for the Sun-Jupiter pair. We prove the existence of all possible combinations of past and future final motions. In particular, we…
The aim of this paper is to present a new, analytical, method for computing the exact number of relative equilibria in the planar, circular, restricted 4-body problem of celestial mechanics. The new approach allows for a very efficient…
The infinite spin problem concerns the rotational behavior of total collision orbits in the $n$-body problem. It has long been known that when a solution tends to total collision then its normalized configuration curve must converge to the…
We generalize the Newtonian n-body problem to spaces of curvature k=constant, and study the motion in the 2-dimensional case. For k>0, the equations of motion encounter non-collision singularities, which occur when two bodies are antipodal.…
We show that for any $t>1$, the set of unconditional convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$ contains a $t$-separated subset of cardinality at least $\exp \exp (C(t) n)$. This implies that there exists an unconditional convex body in $\mathbb{R}^n$…
Solutions to the collinear three-body problem which do not end in triple collision pass through an infinite number of binary collisions. Given three masses, we show that four geometric quantities generate a finite description of itineraries…
In this paper, we consider the elliptic relative equilibria of four-body problem with two infinitesimal masses. The most interesting case is when the two small masses tend to the same Lagrangian point $L_4$ (or $L_5$). In \cite{Xia}, Z. Xia…
The free fall of three particles under Newtonian attraction allows to illustrate some of the complexities of the general three body problem. The total collapse or singularity that occurs when starting from one of the five central…
For the planar four-vortex problem, we show that there are finitely many stationary configurations consisting of equilibria, rigidly translating configurations, relative equilibria (uniformly rotating configurations) and collapse…
In the $n$-body problem, when a~cluster of bodies tends to a collision, then its normalized shape curve converges to the set of normalized central configurations, which has $SO(2)$ symmetry in the planar case. This leaves a possibility that…
In this paper we classify the central configurations of the circular restricted 4-body problem with three primaries at the collinear configuration of the 3-body problem and an infinitesimal mass. The case where the three primaries have the…
The simplest non-collision solutions of the N-body problem are the "relative equilibria", in which each body follows a circular orbit around the centre of mass and the shape formed by the N bodies is constant. It is easy to see that the…
