We examine existence and stability of relative equilibria of the $n$-vortex problem specialized to the case where $N$ vortices have small and equal circulation and one vortex has large circulation. As the small circulation tends to zero,…

We investigate the symmetry of point vortices with one dominant vortex and four vortices with infinitesimal circulations in the (1+4)-vortex problem, a subcase of the five-vortex problem. The four infinitesimal vortices inscribe…

We prove a sufficient condition for nonlinear stability of relative equilibria in the planar $N$-vortex problem. This result builds on our previous work on the Hamiltonian formulation of its relative dynamics as a Lie--Poisson system. The…

We describe the linear and nonlinear stability and instability of certain symmetric configurations of point vortices on the sphere forming relative equilibria. These configurations consist of one or two rings, and a ring with one or two…

We study the linear and nonlinear stability of relative equilibria in the planar N-vortex problem, adapting the approach of Moeckel from the corresponding problem in celestial mechanics. After establishing some general theory, a topological…

Helmholtz's equations provide the motion of a system of N vortices which describes a planar incompressible fluid with zero viscosity. A relative equilibrium is a particular solution of these equations for which the distances between the…

This paper concerns the investigation of the stability properties of relative equilibria which are rigidly rotating vortex configurations sometimes called vortex crystals, in the N-vortex problem. Such a configurations can be characterized…

We study systems formed of 2N point vortices on a sphere with N vortices of strength +1 and N vortices of strength -1. In this case, the Hamiltonian is conserved by the symmetry which exchanges the positive vortices with the negative…

We examine in detail the relative equilibria in the four-vortex problem where two pairs of vortices have equal strength, that is, \Gamma_1 = \Gamma_2 = 1 and \Gamma_3 = \Gamma_4 = m where m is a nonzero real parameter. One main result is…

We examine in detail the relative equilibria of the 4-vortex problem when three vortices have equal strength, that is, $\Gamma_{1} = \Gamma_{2} = \Gamma_{3} = 1$, and $\Gamma_{4}$ is a real parameter. We give the exact number of relative…

We study collinear relative equilibria of the planar four-vortex problem where three of the four vortex strengths are identical. The $S_3$ invariance obtained from the equality of vorticities is used to reduce the defining equations and…

This article studies the N-vortex problem in the plane with positive vorticities. After an investigation of some properties for normalised relative equilibria of the system, we use symplectic capacity theory to show that, there exist…

We investigate the dynamics of $N$ point vortices in the plane, in the limit of large $N$. We consider {\em relative equilibria}, which are rigidly rotating lattice-like configurations of vortices. These configurations were observed in…

Morse theoretical ideas are applied to the study of relative equilibria in the planar $n$-vortex problem. For the case of positive circulations, we prove that the Morse index of a critical point of the Hamiltonian restricted to a level…

We investigate some properties of the dynamical system of point vortices on the hyperboloid. This system has noncompact symmetry SL(2, R) and a coadjoint equivariant momentum map J. The relative equilibrium conditions are found and the…

We consider the $N$-vortex problem on the sphere assuming that all vorticities have equal strength. We investigate relative equilibria (RE) consisting of $n$ latitudinal rings which are uniformly rotating about the vertical axis with…

We consider relative equilibrium solutions of the two-dimensional Euler equations in which the vorticity is concentrated on a union of finite-length vortex sheets. Using methods of complex analysis, more specifically the theory of the…

The motion of two pairs of counter-rotating point vortices placed in a uniform flow past a circular cylinder is studied analytically and numerically. When the dynamics is restricted to the symmetric subspace---a case that can be realized…

We study self-similar solutions of the point-vortex system. The explicit formula for self-similar solutions has been obtained for the three point-vortex problem and for a specific example of the four and five point-vortex problems. We see…

Vortices symmetric with respect to simultaneous parity and time reversing transformations are considered on the square lattice in the framework of the discrete nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. The existence and stability of vortex…
