The Einstein–Infeld–Hoffmann (EIH) equations are a set of equations derived from the Einstein field equations of general relativity, specifically for the purpose of describing the motion of bodies in a gravitational field produced by other bodies. They are particularly significant in the context of the study of gravitational dynamics and celestial mechanics. The EIH equations were formulated by Albert Einstein, Leopold Infeld, and Hugo Hoffmann in the 1930s.
