Abstract

We generalize the sufficient condition for the stability of relative periodic orbits in symmetric Hamiltonian systems presented in [J.-P. Ortega, T.S. Ratiu, J. Geom. Phys. 32 (1999) 131–159] to the case in which these orbits have non-trivial symmetry. We also describe a block diagonalization, similar in philosophy to the one presented in [J.-P. Ortega, T.S. Ratiu, Nonlinearity 12 (1999) 693–720] for relative equilibria, that facilitates the use of this result in particular examples and shows the relation between the stability of the relative periodic orbit and the orbital stability of the associated singular reduced periodic orbit.
