Abstract

© 2017 World Scientific Publishing Company. In this paper, we prove that at every energy level the anisotropic Kepler problem with small anisotropy has two periodic orbits which bifurcate from elliptic orbits of the Kepler problem with high eccentricity. Moreover we provide approximate analytic expressions for these periodic orbits. The tool for proving this result is the averaging theory.
