Regularizable collinear periodic solutions in the $n$-body problem with arbitrary masses
Abstract
For $n$-body problem with arbitrary positive masses, we prove there are regularizable collinear periodic solutions for any ordering of the masses, going from a simultaneous binary collision to another in half of a period with half of the masses moving monotonically to the right and the other half monotonically to the left. When the masses satisfy certain equality condition, the solutions have extra symmetry. This also gives a new proof of the existence of Schubart orbit, when $n=3$.
