Word: 3-body problem, N-body problem, Vlasov equation
Category: Verb
I think it might be a good idea to consider a word for 'problem', in the sense of 'an unresolved theoretical issue in science or mathematics'. {qay'} and {Seng} probably do not cover this type of 'problem'.
But we appear to be able to describe this particular problem already:
{Denchuq wej Dochmey tlham} "The gravities of three objects [lit. 'things'] attract each other."
{pay'anmey law' pat Surma'mey lIl wItte'vam} "This equation simulates the forces of a system of many particles."
This appears, confusingly, to be a request for a verb meaning something like "to try to solve the three-body problem", not for the name of the problem itself. I don't see a need for such a specific verb; I think «pan 'e' nID» would cover it pretty well. I agree with Andrew that it would be useful to have a general word for this meaning of 'problem'.
