Abstract: The planar linear restricted four-body problem is used in order to determine the Newton-Raphson basins of convergence associated with the equilibrium points. The parametric variation of the position as well as of the stability of the libration points is monitored when the values of the mass parameter b as well as of the angular velocity omega vary in predefined intervals. The regions on the configuration (x,y) plane occupied by the basins of attraction are revealed using the multivariate version of the Newton-Raphson iterative scheme. The correlations between the attracting domains of the equilibrium points and the corresponding number of iterations needed for obtaining the desired accuracy are also illustrated. We perform a thorough and systematic numerical investigation by demonstrating how the parameters b and omega influence the shape, the geometry and of course the fractality of the converging regions. Our numerical outcomes strongly indicate that these two parameters are indeed two of the most influential factors in this dynamical system.
