Lindstedt-Poincaré Solutions of Clohessy-Wiltshire Equations

The purpose of this paper is the semi-analytical computation of the bounded orbits of Hill's equations, describing the relative motion of two particles in their Keplerian motion around a central body.

The solutions obtained are the generalisation of the usual periodic orbits obtained for the linear...
