Definition
Decomposing an N-body problem into multiple three-body subproblems, using three-body solutions as initial guesses converged to full solutions via differential correction.
Application Value
This term has application value in the design and analysis of cislunar space missions, supporting trajectory design, mission planning, and system optimization. Researchers can analyze its physical mechanisms and engineering applicability based on specific mission requirements to advance cislunar space exploration technology.
