The bifurcation of figure-eight choreography is analyzed by its symmetry group based on the variational principle of the action. The irreducible representations determine the symmetry and the dimension of the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduced…
We report on figure-eight choreographic solutions to a system of three identical particles interacting through a potential of Lennard-Jones type, $1/r^{12}-1/r^6$ where $r$ is a distance between the particles. By numerical search, we found…
We report on the Morse index and periodic solutions bifurcating from the figure-eight choreography for the equal mass three-body problem under homogeneous potential $-1/r^a$ for $a \ge 0$, and under Lennard-Jones (LJ) type potential…
Figure-eight solutions are solutions to planar equal mass three-body problem under homogeneous or inhomogeneous potentials. They are known to be invariant under the transformation group $D_6$: the dihedral group of regular hexagons.…
We try to prove the existence of choreography solutions for the $n-$body problem on $S^2$. For the three-body problem, we show the existence of the 8-shape orbit on $S^2$.
We revisit the three-body problem in the framework of general relativity. The Newtonian N-body problem admits choreographic solutions, where a solution is called choreographic if every massive particles move periodically in a single closed…
For the gravitational $n$-body problem, the simplest motions are provided by those rigid motions in which each body moves along a Keplerian orbit and the shape of the system is a constant (up to rotations and scalings) configuration…
In this paper, we first describe how we can arrange any bodies on Figure-Eight without collision in a dense subset of $[0,T]$ after showing that the self-intersections of Figure-Eight will not happen in this subset. Then it is reasonable…
We use the maximally permutation symmetric set of three-body coordinates, that consist of the "hyper-radius" $R = \sqrt{\rho^{2} + \lambda^{2}}$, the "rescaled area of the triangle" $\frac{\sqrt 3}{2 R^2} |{\bm \rho} \times {\bm \lambda}|$)…
We consider the bifurcation diagram of radial solutions for the Gelfand problem with a positive radially symmetric weight in the unit ball. We deal with the exponential nonlinearity and a power-type nonlinearity. When the weight is…
The figure eight is a remarkable solution to the Newtonian three-body problem in which the three equal masses chase each around a planar curve having the qualitative shape and symmetries of a figure eight. Here we prove that each lobe of…
Bifurcation with symmetry is considered in the case of an isotropy subgroup with a two-dimensional fixed point subspace and non-zero quadratic terms. In general, there are one or three branches of solutions, and five qualitatively different…
We developed a method to calculate the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the second derivative (Hessian) of action at choreographic three-body solutions that have the same symmetries as the figure-eight solution. A choreographic three-body…
We use numerical continuation and bifurcation techniques in a boundary value setting to follow Lyapunov families of periodic orbits. These arise from the polygonal system of $n$ bodies in a rotating frame of reference. When the frequency of…
In a remarkable paper of 2003 by Fujiwara et al. \cite{Fujiwara2003}, a figure-eight three-body choreography on the algebraic lemniscate by Bernoulli was discovered. Such a choreography was found to be driven by the action of a pairwise…
The present work studies the continuation class of the regular $n$-gon solution of the $n$-body problem. For odd numbers of bodies between $n = 3$ and $n = 15$ we apply one parameter numerical continuation algorithms to the energy/frequency…
We present a variational approach to obtain periodic solutions of the $N$-body problem, in particular the 'figure-eight' solution for three equal masses. The central idea is to explicitly optimize the \emph{spatial scale} within the…
We study the bifurcations of central configurations of the Newtonian four-body problem when some of the masses are equal. First, we continue numerically the solutions for the equal mass case, and we find values of the mass parameter at…
As shown by Johannes Kepler in 1609, in the two-body problem, the shape of the orbit, a given ellipse, and a given non-vanishing constant angular momentum determines the motion of the planet completely. Even in the three-body problem, in…
Second-order equations of motion on a group manifold that appear in a large class of so-called chiral theories are presented. These equations are presented and explicitely solved for cases of semi-simple, finite-dimensional Lie groups. With…
