In N-body problem, it is necessary to regularize forces between close encountering particles to conserve their total energy. Without regularization, these particles has rapid change of their energy. We can, therefore, select close encountering particles looking at their energy and apply regularization to them. We discuss application of this scheme to spherically collapsing case.
