Choreographies in the n-vortex Problem

RC Calleja, EJ Doedel, C García-Azpeitia - Regular and Chaotic Dynamics, 2018 - Springer
We consider the equations of motion of n vortices of equal circulation in the plane, in a disk
and on a sphere. The vortices form a polygonal equilibrium in a rotating frame of reference …

Torus knot choreographies in the n-body problem

R Calleja, C García-Azpeitia, JP Lessard… - …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We develop a systematic approach for proving the existence of choreographic solutions in
the gravitational n body problem. Our main focus is on spatial torus knots: that is, periodic …

Global bifurcation of planar and spatial periodic solutions from the polygonal relative equilibria for the n-body problem

C García-Azpeitia, J Ize - Journal of Differential Equations, 2013 - Elsevier
Given n point masses turning in a plane at a constant speed, this paper deals with the global
bifurcation of periodic solutions for the masses in that plane and in space. As a special case …

Multiple periodic solutions for Γ-symmetric Newtonian systems

M Dabkowski, W Krawcewicz, Y Lv, HP Wu - Journal of Differential …, 2017 - Elsevier
The existence of periodic solutions in Γ-symmetric Newtonian systems x¨=−∇ f (x) can be
effectively studied by means of the Γ× O (2)-equivariant gradient degree with values in the …

Bifurcation of periodic solutions from a ring configuration in the vortex and filament problems

C García-Azpeitia, J Ize - Journal of Differential Equations, 2012 - Elsevier
This paper gives an analysis of the movement of n+ 1 almost parallel filaments or vortices.
Starting from a polygonal equilibrium of n vortices with equal circulation and one vortex at …

Symmetries and choreographies in families that bifurcate from the polygonal relative equilibrium of the n-body problem

R Calleja, E Doedel, C García-Azpeitia - Celestial Mechanics and …, 2018 - Springer
We use numerical continuation and bifurcation techniques in a boundary value setting to
follow Lyapunov families of periodic orbits and subsequently bifurcating families. The …

Standing waves in near-parallel vortex filaments

W Craig, C García-Azpeitia, CR Yang - Communications in Mathematical …, 2017 - Springer
A model derived in (Klein et al., J Fluid Mech 288: 201–248, 1995) for n near-parallel vortex
filaments in a three dimensional fluid region takes into consideration the pairwise interaction …

Relative periodic solutions of the n-vortex problem on the sphere

C García-Azpeitia - arXiv preprint arXiv:1805.10417, 2018 - arxiv.org
This paper gives an analysis of the movement of n vortices on the sphere. When the vortices
have equal circulation, there is a polygonal solution that rotates uniformly around its center …

Platonic Solids and Symmetric Solutions of the N-vortex Problem on the Sphere

C García-Azpeitia, LC García-Naranjo - Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2022 - Springer
We consider the N-vortex problem on the sphere assuming that all vortices have equal
strength. We develop a theoretical framework to analyse solutions of the equations of motion …

Molecular chains interacting by Lennard-Jones and Coulomb forces

C García-Azpeitia, M Tejada-Wriedt - Qualitative theory of dynamical …, 2017 - Springer
We study equations for the mechanical movement of chains of identical particles in the plane
interacting with their nearest-neighbors by bond stretching and by van der Waals and …
