In this paper, we study the chaotic four-body problem in Newtonian gravity. Assuming point particles and total encounter energies $\le$ 0, the problem has three possible outcomes. We describe each outcome as a series of discrete…
In this paper, the third in the series, we continue our study of combinatorics in chaotic Newtonian dynamics. We study the chaotic four-body problem in Newtonian gravity assuming finite-sized particles, and we focus on interactions that…
The three-body problem is arguably the oldest open question in astrophysics, and has resisted a general analytic solution for centuries. Various implementations of perturbation theory provide solutions in portions of parameter space, but…
The gravitational three-body problem is a rich open problem, dating back to Newton. It serves as a prototypical example of a chaotic system and has numerous applications in astrophysics. Generically, the motion is non-integrable and…
We present a formalism for constructing schematic diagrams to depict chaotic three-body interactions in Newtonian gravity. This is done by decomposing each interaction in to a series of discrete transformations in energy- and angular…
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…
Analytical methods are used to prove the existence of a periodic, symmetric solution with singularities in the planar 4-body problem. A numerical calculation and simulation are used to generate the orbit. The analytical method easily…
We construct a non-perturbative, single-valued solution for the metric and the motion of $N$ interacting particles in $2+1$-Gravity. The solution is explicit for two particles with any speed and for any number of particles with small speed.…
In this paper, the fourth in the series, we continue our study of combinatorics in chaotic Newtonian dynamics. We focus once again on the chaotic four-body problem in Newtonian gravity assuming finite-sized particles, and interactions that…
Binary formation in clusters through triple encounters between three unbound stars, 'three-body' binary formation, is one of the main dynamical formation processes of binary systems in dense environments. In this paper, we use an analytical…
Let a number, N, of particles interact classically through Newton's Laws of Motion and Newton's inverse square Law of Gravitation. The resulting equations of motion provide an approximate mathematical model with numerous applications in…
We derive a first order formalism for solving the scattering of point sources in (2+1) gravity with negative cosmological constant. We show that their physical motion can be mapped, with a polydromic coordinate transformation, to a trivial…
The flux-based statistical theory of the non-hierarchical three-body system predicts that the chaotic outcome distribution reduces to the chaotic emissivity function times a known function, the asymptotic flux. Here, we measure the chaotic…
We present a statistical approximate solution of the bound, non-hierarchical three-body problem, and extend it to a general analysis of encounters between hard binary systems and single stars. Any such encounter terminates when one of the…
Three-body systems in two dimensions with zero-range interactions are considered for general masses and interaction strengths. The problem is formulated in momentum space and the numerical solution of the Schr\"odinger equation is used to…
Three body systems where one of the bodies is ejected without escaping the binary system have previously been studied in various restricted forms. However, none of these studies dwells on the problem in a general setting. Thus, to study…
This study presents a general alternative scheme of the procedure and necessary conditions for solving the $n$-body problem. The presented solution is not a solution of the classical problem, where the initial conditions of positions and…
The Newtonian n-Body Problem is modified assuming positive inertial masses but different sign for the interacting force which is assumed with the possibility of two different signs for the gravitational masses, according to the prescription…
We perform a large suite of $N=4$ numerical scattering experiments between two identical binaries consisting of identical point particles in a (continuous) background potential. For investigative purposes, albeit without loss of generality,…
General properties of the three-body problem in a model of modified dynamics are investigated. It is shown that the three-body problem in this model shares some characters with the similar problem in Newtonian dynamics. Moreover, the planar…
