We study the linear stability of equilibrium points of a semilinear phase-field model, giving criteria for stability and instability. In the one-dimensional case, we study the distribution of equilibria and also prove the existence of metastable solutions that evolve very slowly in time.

The planar version of the equilateral restricted four-body problem, with three unequal masses, is numerically investigated. By adopting the grid classification method we locate the coordinates, on the plane [Formula: see text], of the points of equilibrium, for all possible values of the masses of the primaries. The linear stability of the libration points is also determined, as a function of the masses. Our analysis indicates that linearly stable points of equilibrium exist only when one of the primaries has a considerably larger mass, with respect to the other two primary bodies, when the triangular configuration of the primaries is also dynamically stable.
