Abstract:
We consider the motion of a $2\pi$-periodic in time two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system in a neighborhood of the equilibrium position. It is assumed that the system depends on a small parameter e and other parameters and is autonomous at $e=0$. It is also assumed that in the autonomous case there is a set of parameter values for which a $1:1$ resonance occurs, and the matrix of the linearized equations of perturbed motion is reduced to a diagonal form. The study is carried out using an example of the problem of the motion of a dynamically symmetric rigid body (satellite) relative to its center of mass in a central Newtonian gravitational field on an elliptical orbit with small eccentricity in the neighborhood of the cylindrical precession. The character of the motions of the reduced two-degree-of-freedom system in the vicinity of the resonance point in the three-dimensional parameter space is studied. Stability regions of the unperturbed motion (the cylindrical precession) and two types of parametric resonance regions corresponding to the case of zero frequency and the case of equal frequencies in the transformed approximate system of the linearized equations of perturbed motion are considered. The problem of the existence, number and stability of $2\pi$-periodic motions of the satellite is solved, and conclusions on the existence of two- and three-frequency conditionally periodic motions are obtained.
