Abstract

Within the framework of linear and regular celestial mechanics, we revise a recent method of Belen’kii (1981). We generalize some of his results, giving a new regularizing function.

We make an application to the zonal earth satellite, considering the hamiltonian function through the harmonic J4. After the angular variable u has been removed, we introduce a new time and we reduce the problem to a linear equation.
