Global regularization of the restricted problem of three bodies

From MaRDI portal





The restricted plane circular three-body problem is considered. It is well known that the differential equations of the problem have singularities when the distance between the third body and one of the primaries tends to zero (collisions). Motions near or through collisions can be studied only by using regularized equations of motion. Regularization of the equations of motion can be achieved by coordinate and time transformations. There are many publications on the topic. Here, a short review of the papers on regularization is presented. Then a first-order ordinary differential equation is written out which determines the so-called global regularizing transformation, different from the already known. Some of the known regularizing transformations can be found as particular cases of the global regularizing transformation.
