Theory of the secular variations in the orbit of a satellite of an oblate planet / by William A. Mersman.

The theory of satellite orbits about an oblate planet is studied by means of a new set of canonical variables. The Hamiltonian function is separated into two parts, one of which is neglected. The neglected part is periodic with mean value equal to zero, and it vanishes when the inclination is zero....
