In this paper, we investigate the stability of equilibrium points for the planar restricted equilateral four-body problem in the case that one particle of negligible mass is moving under the Newtonian gravitational attraction of three positive masses [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] (called primaries). These always lie at the vertices of an equilateral triangle (Lagrangian configuration) and move with constant angular velocity in circular orbits around their center of masses. We consider the case where all the primaries have unequal masses, and investigate the nonlinear stability (in the sense of Lyapunov) of the elliptic equilibrium for the specific values of the mass [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] of the primary, fixed on the horizontal axis. Moreover, the [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]:[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] four-order resonant cases are determined and the stability is investigated. In this study, Markeev’s theorem and Arnold’s theorem become key ingredients.

The effect of perturbations in Coriolis and cetrifugal forces on the nonlinear stability of the equilibrium point of the Robe's (1977) restricted circular three-body problem has been studied when the density parameterKis zero. By applying Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theory, it has been found that the equilibrium point is stable for all mass ratiosμin the range of linear stability8/9+(2/3)((43/25)ϵ1−(10/3)ϵ)<μ<1, whereϵandϵ1are, respectively, the perturbations in Coriolis and centrifugal forces, except for five mass ratiosμ1=0.93711086−1.12983217ϵ+1.50202694ϵ1,μ2=0.9672922−0.5542091ϵ+1.2443968ϵ1,μ3=0.9459503−0.70458206ϵ+1.28436549ϵ1,μ4=0.9660792−0.30152273ϵ+ 1.11684064ϵ1,μ5=0.893981−2.37971679ϵ+ 1.22385421ϵ1, where the theory is not applicable.
