Theory of motion of hyperion

We solve by an appropriate method the difficulty of near-commensurability, $\text{n}\text{n}{}_1$$\text{3}\text{4}$, in the motion of Hyperion (Saturn VII) and give a first-order solution of its motion. Our result explains two interesting observed features, the regression of the apsidal line and the exclusive occurrence of apocentre C conjunction of SVII and SVI.
