Influence of dissipative and constant forces on stability of steady motions of the Lagrange's top (Q5960228)

The author discusses the motion of a heavy rigid body around a fixed point. It is assumed that the body is dynamically symmetric, and dissipative forces with full dissipation are applied to the body together with a constant moment directed along the axis of dynamical symmetry. The author analyses the effects of these forces on the stability of steady motion.
