Two Colored Diagrams for Central Configurations of the Planar Five-vortex Problem

Abstract

We apply the singular sequence method to investigate the finiteness problem for stationary configurations of the planar five-vortex problem. The initial step of the singular sequence method involves identifying all two-colored diagrams. These diagrams represent potential scenarios where finiteness may fail. We determined all such diagrams for the planar five-vortex problem.
