Global branches of non-planar periodic motions of planetary rings
摘要
In this article, we study local and global bifurcations of non-stationary periodic solutions of autonomous Hamiltonian systems modeling the motion of non-planar planetary rings. We emphasize that our study also includes non-stationary periodic solutions of these systems, which bifurcate from the manifolds of equilibria. Notably, these equilibria are not isolated. To prove our main results, we apply the symmetric Liapunov’s center theorem (see Theorem
