Existence and Uniqueness of Nested Regular Quadrilateral Central Configurations

Two cases of the nested configurations in R3 consisting of two regular quadrilaterals are discussed. One case of them do not form central configuration, the other case can be central configuration. In the second case the existence and uniqueness of the central configuration are studied. If the configuration is a central configuration, then all masses of outside layer are equivalent, similar to the masses of inside layer. At the same time the following relation between r(the ratio of the sizes) and mass ratio b = m/m must be satisfied in which the masses at outside layer are not less than the masses at inside layer, and the solution of this kind of central configuration is unique for the given ratio (6) of masses.

When mass ratio τ is in the open interval （0.03871633950…, 130.8164950…）, there has only one solution r in the interval （0.7379549890…, 1.490942703… ）.

Existence and uniqueness of a class of double pyramidal central configurations in six-body problems

Under the necessary conditions for a double pyramidal central configuration with a diamond base to exist in the real number space, the existence and uniqueness of such configurations were studied by employing combinedly the algebraic method and numerical calculation. It is found that there exists a planar curl triangle region G in a square Q such that any point in G and given by the ratio of the two diagonal lengths of the diamond base and the ratio of one diagonal length of the base to the height of the double pyramid configuration determines a unique double pyramid central configuration, while all points in Q-G have no referance to any central configuration.

As for a double pyramidal central configuration in 6-body problems, the case when its base is a concave polygon is studied. By advancing several assumptions according to the definition of double pyramidal central configuration and deducing two theorems and two corollaries on this subject, the essential and sufficient conditions to form a double pyramidal central configuration with a concave quadrilateral base are demonstrated.

Based on some necessary conditions for double pyramidal central configurations with a concave pentagonal base, for any given ratio of masses, the existence and uniqueness of a class of double pyramidal central configurations with a concave pentagonal base in 7-body problems are proved and the range of the ratio between radius and half-height is obtained, within which the 7 bodies involved form a central configuration or form uniquely a central configuration.

Eight-body central configuration for conjugate-nested regular tetrahedrons

The sufficient and necessary conditions, the existence and uniqueness of a new class of central configuration in R^3, for the conjugate-nest consisting of two regular tetrahedrons, are proved. If the configuration is a central configuration, then all masses of outside layer are equivalent, and the masses of inside layer are also equivalent. At the same time p （the ratio of the sizes） and mass ratio τ=m^/m must be satisfied by some formulas. For any radius ratios ρ∈（0, 0.152996 918 2） or （0.715 223 148 7, 1.398 165 037）, there is only one central configuration. Otherwise, for any given mass ratio τ, there may exist more than one central configuration.
