On the Newton-Raphson basins of convergence associated with the libration points in the axisymmetric five-body problem: the concave configuration

Abstract

The axisymmetric five-body problem with the concave configuration has been studied numerically to reveal the basins of convergence, by exploring the Newton-Raphson iterative scheme, corresponding to the coplanar libration points (which act as attractors). In addition, four primaries are set in axisymmetric central configurations introduced by Érdi and Czirják and the motion is governed by mutual gravitational attraction only. The evolution of the positions of libration points is illustrated, as a function of the value of angle parameters. A systematic and rigorous investigation is performed in an effort to unveil how the angle parameters affect the topology of the basins of convergence. In addition, the relation of the domain of basins of convergence with required number of iterations and the corresponding probability distributions are illustrated.
