A three-dimensional numerical model has been developed with the goal of studying limited dynamical problems relevant to the latest stage of planet growth in the accretion theory. A small number of large protoplanets (~ moon-size) of different masses, moving around the Sun, are considered. The dynamical evolution and growth of the population is studied under mutual gravitational perturbations, accretion and collisional fragmentation processes. Gravitational encounters are treated exactly by numerical integration of the N-body problem. Outcomes of collisional fragmentation are modeled according to the results of Greenberg et al. (1978).

In the n-body problem, a collision singularity occurs when the position of two or more bodies coincide. By understanding the dynamics of collision motion in the regularized setting, a better understanding of the dynamics of near-collision motion is achieved. In this paper, we show that any double collision of the planar equilateral restricted four-body problem can be regularized by using a Birkhoff-type transformation. This transformation has the important property to provide a simultaneous regularization of three singularities due to binary collision. We present some ejection–collision orbits after the regularization of the restricted four-body problem (RFBP) with equal masses, which were obtained by numerical integration.
