Abstract

The various methods for regularisation of the gravitational few-body problem, from the coordinate transformation by the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel method to the more recent methods of algorithmic regularisation, are reviewed. Numerical comparisons of the performance of the methods are presented and future research suggested.
