Editorial Reviews

"This beautiful book is written by a prominent specialist in the qualitative theory of ordinary differential equations, especially the theory of Hamiltonian systems and applications to celestial mechanics. Although devoted mainly to the restricted 3-body problem (R3BP), it can serve as a perfect model of how such qualitative methods can be applied in the study of a classical problem of mechanics. The book will undoubtedly become a reference source for people interested in the topics mentioned above [...]." Mathematical Reviews (review of the original Russian edition)

From the Publisher

A description primarily of the periodic solutions of the restricted problems by means of generating solutions and their perturbations, but also of other solutions (conditionally-periodic, unbounded, arc solutions, etc.). The treatment is based on a systematic application of the local method (in particular, the method of normal forms) and the method of the global section (hypersurface of section), allowing a clear visual representation of the mutual disposition of solutions. Translated from the original Russian edition of 1990 (Moscow: Nauka). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
