The motion of n planets (Po, P₁,..., Pn-1) is governed by the set of 6n first order ODEs n r₁ = V₁_and_vi' = Σ Gm; j=1ji rj - ri d¾ 3 (5.10) where mi, ri(t) and vi(t) are the mass, position vector and velocity of the planet Pi, respectively. The scalar dij = dji = ||r¡—ri|| is the distance between the two planets Pi and Pj. The gravitational constant, G, can be taken equal to 1 without loss of generality.
