โฆ Synopsis
The motion of a point mass on a smooth concave surface (a funnel) under the action of a gravitational force is considered. The equations of motion are reduced to a form to which Lyapunov's theorem on the representation of the solution in the form of power series in the initial conditions, which converge absolutely in a finite region of phase space is applied. In the non-local formulation of the problem, a procedure is described for estimating the libration periods, based on an analysis of geometric forms. A bilateral estimate of the region of possible motion of the point is given for rotational-type motions, when the funnel is a surface of revolution.
