Abstract

The motion of a solid around a stationary point in a uniform gravity field is considered. The mass geometry of this body is such that it can perform regular precession around an axis inclined to a vertical (Grioli precession). The problem about the orbital stability of this precession is solved in the critical case of fourth-order resonance, when the terms to a power higher than the fourth with respect to perturbations (including the sixth-power terms) must be taken into account in the expansion of the Hamiltonian function.
