Relativistic Pythagorean three-body problem

We study the influence of relativity on the chaotic properties and dynamical outcomes of an unstable triple system; the Pythagorean three-body problem. To this end, we extend the brutus N-body code to include post-Newtonian pairwise terms up to 2.5 order, and the first order Taylor expansion to the...
