The non-linear theory of spiral structure

The main steps in the non-linear theory of spiral structure are described. Near each of the main resonances the basic periodic orbits are calculated, and the sets of non-periodic orbits that follow them are found. A different integral of motion is applicable for each set, besides the Jacobi integral...

Sumario:The main steps in the non-linear theory of spiral structure are described. Near each of the main resonances the basic periodic orbits are calculated, and the sets of non-periodic orbits that follow them are found. A different integral of motion is applicable for each set, besides the Jacobi integral. (13 refs).
