No presente trabalho apresentaremos alguns aspectos do problema Newtoniano de n Corpos. Estudaremos o caso de dois corpos, que tem solução direta, embora não seja possível obter todas as variáveis como função do tempo. No caso n maior ou igual a 3 mostraremos que não existe método para integrar este problema via quadraturas. Podemos tirar apenas algumas informações sobre o caso geral, como a Identidade de Lagrange-Jacobi, o Teorema de Sundman-Weierstrass entre outros. Veremos alguns casos de soluções particulares, que serão chamadas de soluções homográficas. Nestas soluções a forma geométrica da configuração inicial dos corpos é preservada durante o movimento. Veremos condições necessárias sobre as configurações iniciais para que seja possível obter estas soluções. Mostraremos uma relação existente entre estas soluções particulares e os pontos críticos de uma aplicação, que associa a uma configuração a energia total e o momento angular total do sistema. Nestes vários casos, cairemos numa mesma equação algébrica, que será chamada de equação das configurações centrais. Mostraremos, em seguida, que as equações de configurações centrais são equivalentes a um outro conjunto de equações algébricas, que servem também para calcular as chamadas configurações centrais, porém, com estas equações as simetrias do problema ficam mais claras, às vezes. Faremos algumas aplicações diretas destas equações algébricas. Uma subclasse interessante da classe das configurações centrais são as chamadas de equações diferenciais empilhadas, nas quais um subconjunto próprio dos corpos também forma uma configuração central. Nos dois últimos capítulos veremos alguns exemplos de configurações centrais deste tipo, em especial aquelas onde podemos retirar uma massa e ainda ter uma configuração central. / In this work we present some aspects of the Newtonian n--body problem. We study the case of two bodies, which have a straightforward solution, although we can not get all the variables as functions of the time. For n greater or equal to 3 we show that there is no method to integrate this problem by quadratures. We can have just some information about the general case, as the Lagrange-Jacobi\'s Identity the Sundman-Weierstrass\'s theorem and others. We will see some cases of particular solutions, which will be called homographic solutions. In these solutions the geometric shape of initial configuration of the bodies is preserved during the movement. We will see necessary conditions on the initial positions that turn possible to obtain these solutions. We show a relation between these particular solutions and critical points of an application, that associate the total energy and total angular momentum of the system. In these several cases, we will fall in same algebraic equation, which we called of the central configurations equations. We show that the central configurations equations are equivalent to another set of algebraic equations, which are also used to compute the central configurations, but with these equations the symmetries of the problem become clearer. We will make some direct applications these algebraic equations. An interesting subclass of the class of central configurations are called stacked differential equations, in which a proper subset of the bodies form a central configuration too. In the last two chapters we will see some examples of central configurations of this kind, especially those where we can remove a mass and still have a central configuration.

On the N-body Problem

Xie, Zhifu 14 July 2006 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis, central configurations, regularization of Simultaneous binary collision, linear stability of Kepler orbits, and index theory for symplectic path are studied. The history of their study is summarized in section 1. Section 2 deals with the following problem: given a collinear configuration of 4 bodies, under what conditions is it possible to choose positive masses which make it central. It is always possible to choose three positive masses such that the given three positions with the masses form a central configuration. However, for an arbitrary configuration of 4 bodies, it is not always possible to find positive masses forming a central configuration. An expression of four masses is established depending on the position x and the center of mass u, which gives a central configuration in the collinear four body problem. Specifically it is proved that there is a compact region in which no central configuration is possible for positive masses. Conversely, for any configuration in the complement of the compact region, it is always possible to choose positive masses to make the configuration central. The singularities of simultaneous binary collisions in collinear four-body problem is regularized by explicitly constructing new coordinates and time transformation in section 3. The motion in the new coordinates and time scale across simultaneous binary collision is at least C^2. Furthermore, the behavior of the motion closing, across and after the simultaneous binary collision, is also studied. Many different types of periodic solutions involving single binary collisions and simultaneous binary collisions are constructed. In section 4, the linear stability is studied for the Kepler orbits of the rhombus four-body problem. We show that, for given four proper masses, there exists a family of periodic solutions for which each body with the proper mass is at the vertex of a rhombus and travels along an elliptic Kepler orbit. Instead of studying the 8 degrees of freedom Hamilton system for planar four-body problem, we reduce this number by means of some symmetry to derive a two degrees of freedom system which then can be used to determine the linear instability of the periodic solutions. After making a clever change of coordinates, a two dimensional ordinary differential equation system is obtained, which governs the linear instability of the periodic solutions. The system is surprisingly simple and depends only on the length of the sides of the rhombus and the eccentricity e of the Kepler orbit. In section 5, index theory for symplectic paths introduced by Y.Long is applied to study the stability of a periodic solution x for a Hamiltonian system. We establish a necessary and sufficient condition for stability of the periodic solution x in two and four dimension.
