Symmetric periodic orbits for the n-body problem: some preliminary results
نویسنده
چکیده
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 or only numerically). The method is by minimizing a discretization of the action functional under symmetry constraints.

Periodic Orbits of a Collinear Restricted Three Body Problem
In this paper we study symmetric periodic orbits of a collinear restricted three body problem, when the middle mass is the largest one. These symmetric periodic orbits are obtained from analytic continuation of symmetric periodic orbits of two collinear two body problems.
متن کاملTransitive decomposition of symmetry groups for the n-body problem
Periodic and quasi-periodic orbits of the n-body problem are critical points of the action functional constrained to the Sobolev space of symmetric loops. Variational methods yield collisionless orbits provided the group of symmetries fulfills certain conditions (such as the rotating circle property). Here we generalize such conditions to more general group types and show how to constructively ...
متن کاملHeteroclinic Connections between Periodic Orbits in Planar Restricted Circular Three Body Problem - Part II
We present a method for proving the existence of symmetric periodic, heteroclinic or homoclinic orbits in dynamical systems with the reversing symmetry. As an application we show that the Planar Restricted Circular Three Body Problem (PCR3BP) corresponding to the Sun-JupiterOterma system possesses an infinite number of symmetric periodic orbits and homoclinic orbits to the Lyapunov orbits. More...
متن کاملSome results on the symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem
The symmetric doubly stochastic inverse eigenvalue problem (hereafter SDIEP) is to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for an $n$-tuple $sigma=(1,lambda_{2},lambda_{3},ldots,lambda_{n})in mathbb{R}^{n}$ with $|lambda_{i}|leq 1,~i=1,2,ldots,n$, to be the spectrum of an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic matrix $A$. If there exists an $ntimes n$ symmetric doubly stochastic ...
متن کاملOn the Existence of Collisionless Equivariant Minimizers for the Classical n-body Problem
We show that the minimization of the Lagrangian action functional on suitable classes of symmetric loops yields collisionless periodic orbits of the n-body problem, provided that some simple conditions on the symmetry group are satisfied. More precisely, we give a fairly general condition on symmetry groups G of the loop space Λ for the n-body problem (with potential of homogeneous degree −α, w...
