On the Sitnikov problem. (English) Zbl 0718.70005

Summary: A mapping which reflects the properties of the Sitnikov problem is derived. We study the mapping instead of the original differential equations and discover that there exists a hyperbolic invariant set. The theoretical prediction of the disorder region agrees remarkably with numerical results. We also discuss the LCEs and KS-entropy of the dynamical system.
