Preface The research laid down in these notes began several years ago with some questions about a particular bifurcation of periodic solutions in the restricted problem of three bodies at the equilibrium

L 4 • This

particular bifurcation takes place when, for the linearized system, the equilibrium

changes from stable to unstable. This kind of bifur-

cation is called a Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. During the research it became apparent that new methods had to be developed and that existing methods had to be reformulated in order to deal with the specific nature of the problem. The development of these methods together with their application to the Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation is the main topic of these notes. As a result a complete description is obtained of the bifurcation of periodic solutions for the generic case of the Hamiltonian Hopf bifurcation. This research was carried out at the Mathematical Institute of the State University of Utrecht. I am very grateful to Prof. Hans Duistermaat and Dr. Richard Cushman for their guidance and advice during the years I worked on this subject. I also thank Richard Cushman for his careful reading of the earlier drafts of the manuscript. Thanks are also due to Prof. D. Siersma of the University of Utrecht for the discussions we had on chapters

and

, and to

Prof. F. Takens of the University of Groningen for his remarks concerning the final manuscript. Finally, I would like to thank Drs. H. van der Meer for his assistence in plotting fig. 4.1 ­ 4. 14, and Jacqueline Vermeij and Jeannette Guilliamse for their excellent typing of the manuscript. Jan­Cees van der Meer June 1985
