Periodic solutions for circular restricted \(N+1\)-body problems (Q369740)

Summary: For circular restricted \(N+1\)-body problems, we study the motion of a sufficiently small mass point (called the zero mass point) in the plane of \(N\) equal masses located at the vertices of a regular polygon. By using variational minimizing methods, for some \(N\), we prove the existence of the noncollision periodic solution for the zero mass point with some fixed winding number.
