Abstract: We consider a natural Lagrangian system defined on a complete Riemannian manifold being subjected to the action of a non-stationary force field with potential

U (q, t) = f (t) V (q)

. It is assumed that the factor

f (t)

tends to

i n f t y

as

t o p m i n f t y

and vanishes at a unique point

t_{0} i n m a t h b b R

. Let

X_{+}

,

X_{-}

denote the sets of isolated critical points of

V (x)

at which

U (x, t)

as a function of

x

attains its maximum for any fixed

t > t_{0}

and

t < t_{0}

, respectively. Under nondegeneracy conditions on points of

X_{p m}

we apply Newton-Kantorovich type method to study the existence of transversal doubly asymptotic trajectories connecting

X_{-}

and

X_{+}

. Conditions on the Riemannian manifold and the potential which guarantee the existence of such orbits are presented. Such connecting trajectories are obatained by continuation of geodesics defined in a vicinity of the point

t_{0}

to the whole real line.
