It is well known that for the circular case ($e=0$) and a given $N\\in \\mathbb{N}$ there are a finite number of nontrivial symmetric $2N\\pi$ periodic solutions all of them parabolic and unstable (in the Lyapunov sense) if we consider the corresponding autonomous equation like a $2\\pi$-periodic equation. Using the method of global continuation of Leray-Schauder, J.Llibre and R.Ortega (J.Llibre $\\&$ R. Ortega, 2008) proved that these families of periodic solutions can be continued from the known $2N\\pi$-periodic solutions in the circular case for nonnecessarily small values of the eccentricity $e$ and in some cases for all values of $e\\in \\, [0,1[.$ However this approach does not say anything about the stability properties of this periodic solutions. In this document we present a new method that quantifies the mentioned bifurcating families and them stabilities properties at least in first approximation. Our approach proposes two general methods: The first one is to estimate the growing of the canonical solutions for one-parametric differential equation of the form \\[ \\ddot{x}+a(t,\\lambda)x=0, \\] with $a\\in C^{1}([0,T] \\times [0,\\Lambda])$. The second one gives stability criteria for one-parametric Hill's equation of the form \\[ \\ddot{x}+q(t,\\lambda)x=0, \\quad (\\ast) \\] where $q(\\cdot,\\lambda)$ is $T$-periodic and $q\\in C^{3}(\\mathbb{R}\\times [0,\\Lambda])$, such that for $\\lambda=0$ the equation $(*)$ is parabolic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-12-21T17:51:36.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "70F07", "37N05", "34B15", "37G15" ], "keywords": [ "periodic solutions", "sitnikov problem", "quantitative stability", "circular case", "one-parametric differential equation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
