On one atypical scheme of application of the second Lyapunov method
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2009. - 61, № 11. - pp. 1557-1563
The second Lyapunov method is applied to the analysis of stability of triangular libration points in a three-dimensional restricted circular three-body problem. It is shown that the triangular libration points are unstable.
On the hill stability of motion in the three-body problem
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2008. - 60, № 10. - pp. 1434–1440
We consider the special case of the three-body problem where the mass of one of the bodies is considerably smaller than the masses of the other two bodies and investigate the relationship between the Lagrange stability of a pair of massive bodies and the Hill stability of the system of three bodies. We prove a theorem on the existence of Hill stable motions in the case considered. We draw an analogy with the restricted three-body problem. The theorem obtained allows one to conclude that there exist Hill stable motions for the elliptic restricted three-body problem.
On the Lagrange Stability of Motion in the Three-Body Problem
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2005. - 57, № 8. - pp. 1137 – 1143
For the three-body problem, we study the relationship between the Hill stability of a fixed pair of mass points and the Lagrange stability of a system of three mass points. We prove the corresponding theorem establishing sufficient conditions for the Lagrange stability and consider a corollary of the theorem obtained concerning a restricted three-body problem. Relations that connect separately the squared mutual distances between mass points and the squared distances between mass points and the barycenter of the system are established. These relations can be applied to both unrestricted and restricted three-body problems.
On the Stability of an Equilibrium State of Gyroscopic Coupled Systems
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 2003. - 55, № 2. - pp. 255-263
We investigate the stability of an equilibrium state of gyroscopic coupled conservative systems in the case where the force function does not attain a local maximum in this state. We consider the situation where the gyroscopic coupling is weak with respect to a part of coordinates and strong with respect to the other part.
On the function of hamiltonian action for nonholonomic systems and its application to the investigation of stability
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1999. - 51, № 10. - pp. 1411–1416
For nonholonomic systems, we introduce the notion of the function of Hamiltonian action, with the use of which we investigate the stability of nonholonomic systems in the case where the equilibrium state under consideration is a critical point of the corresponding Lagrangian (Whittaker system).
On instability of the equilibrium state of nonholonomic systems
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1999. - 51, № 3. - pp. 389–397
We establish a criterion of instability for the equilibrium state of nonholonomic systems, in which gyroscopic forces may dominate over potential forces. We show that, similarly to the case of holonomic systems, the evident domination of gyroscopic forces over potential ones is not sufficient to ensure the equilibrium stability of nonholonomic systems.
On instability of conservative systems with gyroscopic forces
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1997. - 49, № 10. - pp. 1422–1428
Theorems on equilibrium instability of conservative systems with gyroscopic forces are proved. The theorems obtained are nonlinear analogs of the Kelvin theorem. The equilibrium instability of the Chaplygin nonholonomic systems is considered.
On the instability of lagrange solutions in the three-body problem
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1996. - 48, № 11. - pp. 1580-1585
We consider the relation between the Lyapunov instability of Lagrange equilateral triangle solutions and their orbital instability. We present a theorem on the orbital instability of Lagrange solutions. This theorem is extended to the planarn-body problem.
On the gyroscopic stabilization of conservative systems
Ukr. Mat. Zh. - 1996. - 48, № 10. - pp. 1402-1408
We consider conservative systems with gyroscopic forces and prove theorems on stability and instability of equilibrium states for such systems. These theorems can be regarded as a generalization of the Kelvin theorem to nonlinear systems.
