A Second Order Secular J–S Planetary Theory Part I : Lemma

Abstract

Abstract A concise lemma is given for the construction of a semi – analytic Hamiltonian second order secular J–S planetary theory using the Jacobi – Radau system of origins and in terms of the non-singular variables of H. Poincaré. We truncate our expansions at the desired power in the eccentricities and the sines of the inclinations.
