Abstract

A method is introduced to regularize binary collisions between one of the bodies and any number of other bodies in the three-dimensional problem ofn-bodies. The coordinates are first transformed from an inertial system to a system relative to one of the bodies. The KS dependent variable transformation and a new independent variable transformation are introduced for the regularization.
