Abstract
A calculation of perihelion precession is presented that utilizes a phase-plane analysis of the general relativistic equations of motion. The equations of motion are reviewed in addition to the phase-plane analysis required for the calculation. “Exact” phase planes for orbital dynamics in the Schwarzschild geometry are discussed, and bifurcations are identified as a dimensionless parameter involving the angular momentum is varied.
