N-body choreographies on a p-limacon curve
Manuel Fernandez-Guasti, Toshiaki Fujiwara, Ernesto Perez-Chavela +1
We consider an --body problem under a harmonic potential of the form . A -limaçon curve is a planar curve parametrized by given by $a(…

Equivalence of Rigid Motions and Relative Equilibria in the N-Body Problem on the Two-Sphere
Toshiaki Fujiwara, Ernesto Pérez-Chavela, Shuqiang Zhu
We investigate the relationship between rigid motions and relative equilibria in the N-body problem on the two-dimensional sphere, S2. We prove that any rigid motion of the N-body…

Mass independent shapes for relative equilibria in the two dimensional constant positive curved three body problem
Toshiaki Fujiwara, Ernesto Perez-Chavela
In the planar three-body problem under Newtonian potential, it is well known that any masses, located at the vertices of an equilateral triangle generates a relative equilibrium, k…
