Some solutions
- A
homographic solution with 5 bodies
- A solution
of the three-body problem starting very close from an ejection
from a triple collision. A very little disymmetry at the
beginning leads to a completely disymmetric solution, with many
almost double collisions. This gives an idea of the sensitivity
to initial conditions. Incidentally, it is not clear what is the
final behavior of the solution: do the three bodies remain
boundedly close to each other? Or does one mutual distance tend
to infinity? Or does it oscillate, with arbitrarily large values
with a finite lim inf? Does a double or triple collision occur ?
Solutions described in the papers Rotating Eights
(2005) and The flow of the equal mass three-body problem
(2008)
Solutions described in Unchained polygons (2009)
