Review text

The author considers the motion of a particle in the plane under a force deriving from a potential, given in polar coordinates by: \(U(r, \theta)=M(\theta)/r^2\). The normal variational equation in the neighborhood of the solution \(y=0\) is: \[ \xi(t)+ \lambda\varphi(t)^{-4} \xi(t)=0 \tag{1} \] where \(\varphi\) satisfies \(\varphi(t)+ \varphi(t)^{-3} =0\), \(\varphi(0)=1\), \(\varphi'(0)=0\). The author gives a solution to (1) for all values of \(\lambda\), and studies the singular points of the solution.
