AbstractA great deal of human and computer effort has been directed in recent decades to the determination of the periodic orbits of the restricted three-body problem and the study of their properties for well known reasons of significance and feasibility.

AbstractBy applying our variational method, we show that there exist 24 local action minimizers connecting two prescribed configurations: a collinear configuration and a double isosceles configuration in {H^{1}([0,1],\chi)} in the planar equal-mass four-body problem. Among the 24 local action minimizers, we prove that the one with the smallest action has no collision singularity and it can be extended to a periodic or quasi-periodic orbit. Furthermore, if all the 24 local action minimizers are free of collision, we show that they can generate sixteen different periodic orbits.
