Abstract
Motion of a point mass in gravitational fields of the Sun and of the galactic disk is important from the point of view of orbital evolution of cometary orbits. One of such numerical studies may be found, e.g., in Prçtka and Dybczynski (1994). Since we want to find fundamental features of possible motions, we use time-averaged equations for orbital elements (e, i, w) — conclusions may be applied to real situations for semimajor axes up to the order of 104 AU.
