| Abstract: | The dynamics of the vortex lattice in the inner crust of a neutron star is considered. A general equation of motion is obtained
and solved under the assumption that there are regions of pinned and of free vortices. By comparing these solutions with observational
data for the Vela pulsar, the relative moments of inertia of regions of relaxation with the corresponding characteristic times
are calculated for two model stars with different equations of state. It is shown that the theory can be reconciled with observations
of the relaxation of pulsar angular velocity only for model stars with extremely stiff equations of state.
