Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the inverse problem of central configurations of n-body problem. For a given ({q=(q_1, q_2, ldots, q_n)in ({bf R}^d)^n}), let S( q) be the admissible set of masses denoted ({ S(q)={ m=(m_1,m_2, ldots, m_n)| m_i in {bf R}^+, q}) is a central configuration for m}. For a given ({min S(q)}), let S m ( q) be the permutational admissible set about m = ( m 1, m 2, . . . , m n ) denoted $S_m(q)={m^prime | m^primein S(q),m^prime not=m , {rm and} , m^prime,{rm is, a, permutation, of }, m }.$ The main discovery in this paper is the existence of a singular curve ({bar{Gamma}_{31}}) on which S m ( q) is a nonempty set for some m in the collinear four-body problem. ({bar{Gamma}_{31}}) is explicitly constructed by a polynomial in two variables. We proved: - (1)
If ({min S(q)}), then either # S m (q) = 0 or # S m (q) = 1. - (2)
#S m ( q) = 1 only in the following cases: - (i)
If s = t, then S m (q) = {(m 4, m 3, m 2, m 1)}. - (ii)
If ({(s,t)in bar{Gamma}_{31}setminus {(bar{s},bar{s})}}), then either S m (q) = {(m 2, m 4, m 1, m 3)} or S m (q) = {(m 3, m 1, m 4, m 2)}.
