Planar Three-Body Problem
![]() The three-body problem is one of the simplest mechanical systems that exhibits nonintegrability and chaos. (The two body problem with retardation is conceptually simpler but trickier to calculate.) Depending on the initial conditions, the system exhibits periodic orbits, escape to infinity in finite time, collision singularities, triple collisions, quasi-bound states, … ![]() "Planar Three-Body Problem" from The Wolfram Demonstrations Project http://demonstrations.wolfram.com/PlanarThreeBodyProblem/ Contributed by: Michael Trott Suggested by: Stephen Wolfram | ||||||||||||||
