Collisionless periodic solutions to some three-body problems. (English) Zbl 0773.70009

Summary: We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions to some three-body problems. Periodic solutions are found as minima of the associated action integral and are shown to be free of double and triple collisions.
