Using BKK theory, we show that the number of equilibria (central configurations) in the planar, circular, restricted four-body problem is finite for any choice of masses. Moreover, the number of such points is bounded above by 196.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
