Positive mass of \(k+l\)-Moulton configuration

  • Naoko Yoshimi

摘要

For given k bodies of collinear central configuration of Newtonian k-body problem, we ask whether one can add other l bodies at the same time on the line without changing the configuration and motion of the initial bodies so that the total k \(+\) + l bodies provide a central configuration. We call it k+l-Moulton configuration. We find the following. When l < k \(+\) + 1, there exist only zero-mass solutions, masses of added bodies are all zero that means infinitesimal mass. When l \(=\) = k \(+\) + 1, we show the existence of k+l-Moulton configuration where masses are non-negative given as a one parameter family, \({\mathbf {m_{B}}}={\mathbf {m_{B_{0}}}}\) m B = m B 0 t, t \(\ge \) 0. Then there exist not only zero-mass but also positive-mass solutions whose masses are all positive. Moreover when l > k \(+\) + 1, there is not zero-mass solution because one cannot put more than one body in an interval which is separated by initial k bodies. Then maximum number of added bodies is k \(+\) + 1 at once in zero-mass solutions.
