| Abstract: | The model of extended Sitnikov Problem contains two equally heavy bodies of mass m moving on two symmetrical orbits w.r.t the centre of gravity. A third body of equal mass m moves along a line z perpendicular to the primaries plane, intersecting it at the centre of gravity. For sufficiently small distance from the
primaries plane the third body describes an oscillatory motion around it. The motion of the three bodies is described by a
coupled system of second order differential equations for the radial distance of the primaries r and the third mass oscillation z. This problem which is dealt with for zero initial eccentricity of the primaries motion, is generally non integrable and
therefore represents an interesting dynamical system for advanced perturbative methods. In the present paper we use an original
method of rewriting the coupled system of equations as a function iteration in such a way as to decouple the two equations
at any iteration step. The decoupled equations are then solved by classical perturbation methods. A prove of local convergence
of the function iteration method is given and the iterations are carried out to order 1 in r and to order 2 in z. For small values of the initial oscillation amplitude of the third mass we obtain results in very good agreement to numerically
obtained solutions. |
