On stability of regular precessions of a non-symmetric gyroscope (Q1876371)

The author considers the motion of a rigid body around a fixed point in homogeneous gravity field. The body is not dynamically symmetric and the center of gravity is situated on the straight line passing through the fixed point perpendicular to circular cross-sections of inertia ellipsoid. In [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl., IV. Ser. 26, 271--281 (1947; Zbl 0031.03803)], \textit{G. Grioli} proved that the body with such geometry of mass can be in a state of regular precession around of a nonvertical axis. In this paper the author studies the stability of this precession.
