On one special case of parametric resonance in problems of celestial mechanics

We consider a periodic (in time) linear Hamiltonian system that depends on a small parameter. At a zero value of this parameter, the matrix of the system is constant, has two identical pairs of purely imaginary roots, and is not reducible to diagonal form. Therefore, the unperturbed system is unstable. We propose an algorithm for determining the boundaries of the instability regions for the system at nonzero values of the small parameter. This algorithm was used to analyze the stability of triangular libration points in the elliptical restricted three-body problem and in the stability problem in one special case of stationary rotation of a satellite relative to the center of mass.
