New solutions of the problem on body motion in the field of potential and gyroscopic forces (Q2754745)

The motion of gyrostat in the field of potential and gyroscopic forces is described by equations \(\dot{x} = (x+\lambda)\times ax + ax\times B\nu + s\times\nu + \nu\times C\nu\), \(\dot{\nu} = \nu\times x\), where \(x=(x_1, x_2, x_3)\) is angular moment of the gyrostat, \(\nu=(\nu_1, \nu_2, \nu_3)\) is the unit vector of symmetry axis of force field, \(a=(a_{ij})\) is the gyration tensor, \(\lambda=(\lambda_1, \lambda_2, \lambda_3)\) is the gyrostatic moment, \(s=(s_1, s_2, s_3)\) is the vector of generalized mass-center, and \(B=(B_{ij})\) and \(C=(C_{ij})\) are some symmetric third-order matrices (a dot over a variable denotes the time derivative). Here the authors propose a new approach to the integration of gyrostat equations seeking solutions in the form \(x_1=\varphi(\nu_1)\), \(x_2=\nu_2\varphi(\nu_1)\), \(x_3=\nu_3\varphi(\nu_1)\). Different variants of reductions of arising equations to a single differential equation are considered, and some new cases of integrability are obtained.
