Abstract
Algorithms for searching equilibrium solutions of the circular restricted four-body problem formulated on the basis of triangular Lagrange solutions of the three-body problem are discussed. For small values of one of the two system parameters, equilibrium solutions are found in the form of power series. For large values of this parameter, an algorithm for numerical solution is presented. The proposed algorithms are implemented in the computer algebra system Mathematica.
