Isn't that literally the premise of the Three Body Problem?
The 3 body problem has no general solution. This would be a special case solution.
Ah, yes, I just read the title again!
Not exactly. In the novel/tv show the Three Bodies are stars that are interacting with a fourth object, the planet Trisolaris.
Because the movements of the three suns are unpredictable, they never know when the climate of the planet will be habitable.
Yes, I remember now that I thought "that's a four body problem" when I read it.
