A family of periodic solutions of the three body problem. Light version
Abstract
In this paper we describe a 1-dimensional family of initial conditions \Sigma that provides reduced periodic solution of the three body problem. This family \Sigma contains a bifurcation point and extend the periodic solution described in (Perdomo, http://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.01100.pdf). This 1-dimensional family is the union of two embedded smooth curves. We will explain how the trajectories of the bodies in the solutions coming from one of the embedded curves have two symmetries while those coming from the other embedded curve only have one symmetry. The Round Taylor Method is a numerical method implemented by the author to keep track of the global error and the round-off error. A second version of this paper, same title with the "light version" part removed, will include analysis of the error of the solutions using the Round Taylor Method.
