Use of the Method of Particular Solutions in Determining Periodic Orbits of the Earth-Moon System,
Abstract
Modified quasilinearization is employed in combination with the method of particular solutions in order to find several periodic orbits of the Earth-Moon system, specifically, (a) an orbit around the Earth, (b) an orbit around the Moon, and (c) an orbit around both the Earth and the Moon. The computational results show that convergence is quite rapid, even though each nominal curve employed is not a good approximation to the solution. (Author)
