Abstract
In the Hénon and Heiles Hamiltonian in three dimensions we study the influence of the integral A on its dynamics. We treat the system as a perturbed isotropic oscillator in 1-1-1 resonance. The existence of ellipses as simple periodic orbits is established. We find relative equilibria and bifurcations as functions of Λ. © 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
