NON-LINEAR STABILITY OF TRIANGULARLIBRATION POINTS IN THE RESTRICTED THREE BODY PROBLEM WITH VARIABLE MASS AND SMALLER PRIMARY IS A TRIAXIAL RIGID BODY

This paper deals with the non- linear stability of triangular libration points by numerical method. By forming Lagrangian about the triangular librationpoints and taking only second order terms in Lagrangian about triangular libration point the characteristic equations were established by Lagrangian equations of motion. Then by the nature of characteristic roots we found that the triangular libration points are also unstable.
