We prove that there is a unique convex non-collinear central configuration of the planar Newtonian four-body problem when two equal masses are located at opposite vertices of a quadrilateral and, at most, only one of the remaining masses is…

A solvable many-body problem in the plane is exhibited. It is characterized by rotation-invariant Newtonian (``acceleration equal force'') equations of motion, featuring one-body (``external'') and pair (``interparticle'') forces. The…

Several N-body problems in ordinary (3-dimensional) space are introduced which are characterized by Newtonian equations of motion (``acceleration equal force;'' in most cases, the forces are velocity-dependent) and are amenable to exact…

Two numerical algorithms for analyzing planar central and balanced configurations in the $(n+1)$-body problem with a small mass are presented. The first one relies on a direct solution method of the $(n+1)$-body problem by using a…

In this study, we present a rigorous analytical proof of the uniqueness of central configurations for the five-body problem, assuming that all five masses are equal and positioned at the vertices of a planar polygon. We consider…

We study central configurations of the Newtonian four-body problem that form a trapezoid. Using a topological argument we prove that there is at most one trapezoidal central configuration for each cyclic ordering of the masses.

We prove for generalisations of quasi-homogeneous $n$-body problems with center of mass zero and $n$-body problems in spaces of negative constant Gaussian curvature that if the masses and rotation are fixed, there exists, for every order of…

We study the problem of planar central configurations with $N$ heavy bodies and $k$ bodies with arbitrary small masses. We derive the equation which describe the limit of light masses going to zero, which can be seen as the equation for…

For the Newtonian (gravitational) $n$-body problem in the Euclidean $d$-dimensional space, $d\ge 2$, the simplest possible periodic solutions are provided by circular relative equilibria, (RE) for short, namely solutions in which each body…

We show the existence of some infinite families of periodic solutions of the planar Newtonian n-body problem --with positive masses-- which are symmetric with respect to suitable actions of finite groups (under a strong--force assumption,…

We study the planar symmetric central configurations of the $1+4$-body problem where the symmetry axis does not contain any infinitesimal masses. Under certain assumptions we find analytically some central configurations, and also get some…

In this paper we discuss the central configurations of the Trapezoidal four-body Problem. We consider four point masses on the vertices of an isosceles trapezoid with two equal masses $m_1=m_4$ at positions $(\mp 0.5, r_B)$ and $m_2=m_3$ at…

In this paper we show that in the $n$-body problem with harmonic potential one can find a continuum of central configurations for $n=3$. Moreover we show a counterexample to an interpretation of Jerry Marsden Generalized Saari's conjecture.…

We study central configurations lying on a common circle in the Newtonian four-body problem. Using a topological argument we prove that there is at most one co-circular central configuration for each cyclic ordering of the masses on the…

Our idea is to imitate Smale's list of problems, in a restricted domain of mathematical aspects of Celestial Mechanics. All the problems are on the n-body problem, some with different homogeneity of the potential, addressing many aspects…

We prove that, for generic (open and dense) values of the masses, the Newtonian potential function of the collinear N-body problem has $N!/2$ critical values when restricted to a fixed inertia level. In particular, we prove that for generic…

A unified theory of orthogonal polynomials of a discrete variable is presented through the eigenvalue problem of hermitian matrices of finite or infinite dimensions. It can be considered as a matrix version of exactly solvable Schr\"odinger…

The conjecture of the existence and the uniqueness of the strictly convex quadrilateral central configuration for the Newtonian 4-body problem is one of the most-talked open problems in the study of the classical n-body problems in…

In this paper we find a class of new degenerate central configurations and bifurcations in the Newtonian $n$-body problem. In particular we analyze the Rosette central configurations, namely a coplanar configuration where $n$ particles of…

The Bohr hamiltonian, also called collective hamiltonian, is one of the cornerstone of nuclear physics and a wealth of solutions (analytic or approximated) of the associated eigenvalue equation have been proposed over more than half a…
