Abstract

A linearised treatment is presented of vertical bifurcations of symmetric periodic orbits (bifurcations of plane with three-dimensional orbits) in the circular restricted problem. Recent work on bifurcations from vertical-critical orbits (av = ±1) is extended to deal with the more general situation of bifurcations from vertical self-resonant orbits (av = cos(2πn/m) for integer m,n) and it is shown that in this more general case bifurcating families of three-dimensional orbits always occur in pairs, the orbital symmetry properties being governed by the evenness or oddness of the integer m. The applicability of the theory to the elliptic restricted problem is discussed.
