Abstract

The analysis of regions of convergence of expansions of the right-hand sides of the differential equations of motion in the vicinity of the collinear libration points in the circular restricted three-body problem in powers of coordinates of the infinitesimal body due to F. R. Moulton (Moulton, 1920) is shown to be erroneous and his results are corrected. The generalisation of Moulton's results to analogous expansions of the equations in the elliptic problem of three bodies made by R. W. Farquhar (Farquhar, 1968) is shown to be groundless.
