Initial value problem (IVP) based on a three-body problem.

Let the initial conditions be \(y = (y_1, y_2, \dot{y}_1, \dot{y}_2)^T\). This function implements the second-order three-body problem as a system of first-order ODEs, which is defined as follows: [1]

\[\begin{split}f(t, y) = \begin{pmatrix} \dot{y_1} \\ \dot{y_2} \\ y_1 + 2 \dot{y}_2 - \frac{(1 - \mu) (y_1 + \mu)}{d_1} - \frac{\mu (y_1 - (1 - \mu))}{d_2} \\ y_2 - 2 \dot{y}_1 - \frac{(1 - \mu) y_2}{d_1} - \frac{\mu y_2}{d_2} \end{pmatrix}\end{split}\]

with

\[\begin{split}d_1 &= ((y_1 + \mu)^2 + y_2^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} \\ d_2 &= ((y_1 - (1 - \mu))^2 + y_2^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}\end{split}\]

and a constant parameter \(\mu = 0.012277471\) denoting the standardized moon mass.

Parameters:

tmax – Final time.

Returns:

IVP object describing a three-body problem IVP with the prescribed configuration.

Return type:

IVP
