A numerical calculation and simulation are used to generate the orbit. The analytical method easily extends to any even number of bodies. Multiple simultaneous binary collisions are a key feature of the orbits generated.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2010-02-09T05:37:40.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "70F10" ], "keywords": [ "body problem", "periodic solutions", "singularities", "dimensions", "multiple simultaneous binary collisions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008arXiv0811.0227O" } } }
