Abstract:
Consider a generalized 3-body problem. The attraction force between any two bodies is proportional to the two masses and the b-th power of the mutual distance. Albouy and Fu have obtained the optimal upper bound of the number of generalized Euler configurations for the cases b 1 and b = 2, 3. This paper obtains the optimal upper bound for the remaining real values of b in a systematic way.
