摘要

The finiteness problem of stationary configurations for the planar five-vortex problem is considered in this paper. The numbers of equilibria and rigidly translating configurations are shown to be at most 6 and 24 respectively. The numbers of relative equilibria and collapse configurations are shown to be finite, except perhaps if the 5-tuple of vorticities belongs to a given codimension 2 subvariety of the vorticity space. In particular, if the vorticities are of the same sign, the number of stationary configurations is finite.
