The new approach allows for a very efficient computer-aided proof, and opens a potential pathway to proving harder instances of the n-body problem.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-04-19T11:26:56.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "relative equilibria", "proving harder instances", "potential pathway", "efficient computer-aided proof", "exact number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
