Abstract
Normal forms of Hamiltonian are very important to analyze the nonlinear stability of a dynamical system in the vicinity of invariant objects. This paper presents the normalization of Hamiltonian and the analysis of nonlinear stability of triangular equilibrium points in non-resonance case, in the photogravitational restricted three body problem under the influence of radiation pressures and P-R drags of the radiating primaries. The Hamiltonian of the system is normalized up to fourth order through Lie transform method and then to apply the Arnold-Moser theorem, Birkhoff normal form of the Hamiltonian is computed followed by nonlinear stability of the equilibrium points is examined. Similar to the case of classical problem, we have found that in the presence of assumed perturbations, there always exists one value of mass parameter within the stability range at which the discriminant vanish, consequently, Arnold-Moser theorem fails, which infer that triangular equilibrium points are unstable in nonlinear sense within the stability range. Present analysis is limited up to linear effect of the perturbations, which will be helpful to study the more generalized problem.

1 Introduction
Since the time of Poincaré, invariant objects are very much important to understand the behavior of a dynamical system, especially, phase space. Moreover, there are many possible approaches to find the invariant objects, whereas the normal forms (truncated) are very useful because these can give integrable approximations to the dynamics under appropriate hypothesis (Jorba, 1999). Because of the approximation of true dynamics by the normal forms, invariant objects of the initial system get approximated also, accordingly (Simó et al, 1995; Jorba and Villanueva, 1998). The approximate first integrals are those quantities, which are almost preserved through the system’s flow. This shows that the surface levels by the flow are almost invariant. Some informations about the dynamics can be obtained through this property. To minimize the overflow and complexity in the computations, an appropriate approach is to use of power series or Fourier sires, or a combination of both to represent the object. Because in many cases they needed only a few numbers of terms to maintain the good accuracy. Some other approach can also be found in Gómez et al (1998); Jorba and Masdemont (1999), in which trigonometric series is used. The normal forms of the Hamiltonian system up to some finite order is necessary to study the nonlinear stability of the equilibrium points using Arnold-Moser theorem in non-resonance case. They also help to know the behavior of dynamics in the neighborhood of the invariant objects. Many researchers have described the different method to find the normal forms of the Hamiltonian of the dynamical system (Poincaré, 1881; Birkhoff, 1927; Deprit, 1969; Ushiki, 1984; Coppola and Rand, 1989a; Jorba, 1999; Kishor and Kushvah, 2017). In the normal forms, the central idea is to find suitable transforms of the phase co-ordinates, which can convert the Hamiltonian system in its simplest form up to a finite order of accuracy. Normalization of Hamiltonian is obtained to change the Hamiltonian into its simplest form using the method of Lie transforms (Coppola and Rand, 1989a; Jorba, 1999).
Because of radiating primary in the present problem under the analysis, force due to radiation pressure came into existence (Schuerman, 1980; Ragos and Zagouras, 1993), which acts in opposite direction to the gravitational attraction force of the primary. Concept of Poynting-Roberston drag is came into the picture when, Poynting (1903) investigated the effect of radiation pressure on the moving particle in interplanetary space and Robertson (1937) modified the Poynting’s theory through the principle of relativity. In the analysis of Roberston, he considered only first order terms in the expression related to the ratio of velocity of the particle to that of the light. The radiation force is expressed as
[TABLE]
where is the radiation pressure force due to radiating primary; is the position vector of the particle relative to the radiating primary; is the velocity of the particle; and is the speed of the light. First term of the equation (1) denotes the radiation pressure, second term represents the Doppler shift due to the motion of the particle, whereas third term corresponds to the absorption and subsequent re-emission part of induced radiation. The combined form of the last two terms of the equation (1) known as Poynting-Robertson (P-R) drag. Chernikov (1970) analyzed the photogravitational restricted three body problem (RTBP) with P-R drag under the frame of Sun-planet-particle system and found that non-collinear (triangular) equilibrium points are unstable. Effect of P-R drag including radiation pressure is described by Schuerman (1980). A similar analysis is presented by Murray (1994) and Ragos and Zafiropoulos (1995) to observed the effect of P-R drag in the context of existence and stability of the equilibrium points. Kushvah et al (2007) examined the nonlinear stability in the generalized photogravitational RTBP with P-R drag of first primary and oblateness of secondary and found that triangular equilibrium points are unstable, whereas Mishra and Ishwar (2016) investigated about the stability of non-collinear equilibrium points in the photogravitational elliptic RTBP with P-R drag. Kushvah et al (2012) and Kishor and Kushvah (2013) have analyzed the effect of radiation pressure force on the existence and linear stability of the equilibrium points in the generalized photogravitational Chermnykh-like problem with a disc. They found that the effect of perturbation factors are significant. In literature, many researchers have analyzed the photogravitational RTBP in nonlinear sense by considering one or two perturbations at a time (McKenzie and Szebehely, 1981; Ishwar, 1997; Subba Rao and Krishan Sharma, 1997; Lhotka and Celletti, 2015; Alvarez-Ramírez et al, 2015) but very few of them have considered the problem under the combined influence of few perturbations (Kushvah et al, 2007; Kishor and Kushvah, 2017). Ishwar and Sharma (2012) have discussed about the nonlinear stability of out of plane equilibrium points in the RTBP with oblate primary and found that point is stable in nonlinear sense. Raj and Ishwar (2017) have obtained diagonalized form of the Hamiltonian with P-R drag. Kishor and Kushvah (2017) have studied nonlinear stability of triangular equilibrium points in the Chermnykh-like problem, in the presence of radiation pressure, oblateness and a disc. They found that these perturbations affect the numerical results significantly.
Due to above reasons in addition to wide applications of the RTBP in mission design, we are motivated to study the problem under the influence of the radiation pressures and P-R drags of both primary and secondary. In the present study, we are interested to compute the fourth order normalized Hamiltonian and utilizing them to analyze the nonlinear stability of triangular equilibrium points using Arnold-Moser theorem in non-resonance case. Because of both primary and secondary radiating, the problem under analysis includes the four perturbing parameters in the form of mass reduction factors due to the radiation pressures of the primaries and P-R drags of both the primaries, respectively. The paper is organized as follows: In Section-2, we have formulated the problem and found the equations of motion. Section-3 presents the second order normalized Hamiltonian of the problem under analysis. Nonlinear stability analysis is discussed in Section-4. Section-5 is devoted to Birkhoff normal form and application of Arnold-Moser theorem in non-resonance case. Results are concluded in Section-6. For algebraic and numerical computations, Mathematica®(Wolfram, 2003) software package is used. The results of this study may be used to describe more generalized problem under the influence of other perturbations such as albedo, solar wind drag, Stokes drag etc. (Idrisi and Ullah, 2018; Singh and Omale, 2019).
2 Mathematical Formulation
We consider the photogravitational restricted three body problem with P-R drag, which consists of motion of an infinitesimal mass under the influence of gravitational field and radiation effect of two massive and radiating bodies of masses and , respectively, called primaries. Forces, which govern the motion of infinitesimal mass are gravitational attractions, radiation pressures and P-R drags of both the primaries, respectively. It is assumed that gravitational effect of infinitesimal mass on the system is negligible. Units are normalized such as units of mass and distance are taken as the sum of the masses of both the primaries and separation distance between them, respectively, whereas unit of time is the time period of the rotating frame. We suppose that the coordinate of the primaries are respectively and that of infinitesimal mass is , then the equations of motion (Raj and Ishwar, 2017) are

To overcome the complexity in the analysis, co-ordinates and are linearized with respected to , keeping in mind that the perturbing parameters lie in so, take , where are very small. The linearized co-ordinates and are

3 Second Order Normal Form of the Hamiltonian
In the present analysis only the stability of is analyzed, because the dynamics of is similar to that of . Only first order terms in the perturbing parameters are considered for simplifying the complex calculations involved in the problem through out the analysis. The second order normal form of the Hamiltonian of the problem under analysis is obtained in Raj and Ishwar (2017) and for self sufficiency of this paper, we have taken some necessary expressions in appropriate form there to use under this section. Shifting the origin to the triangular equilibrium point using simple transformations as
[TABLE]
Substituting these variables in Hamiltonian (9), we get new Hamiltonian . Now, expanding the new Hamiltonian using Taylor’s series about the origin, which is now, the triangular equilibrium point, can be written as
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
such that . Since, the origin is the triangular equilibrium point, must vanish, whereas is constant hence, it can be dropped out as it is irrelevant to the dynamics. The quadratic Hamiltonian , which is to be normalized first and then to be used for higher order normalization, is given as
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
In the present study, the problem is dealt with four perturbation parameters in the form of P-R drag and radiation pressure of both the primaries. Hence, the coefficient for such that in (13) can be bifurcated into five parts such as , and , which corresponds to the terms in classical case, terms with P-R drag of first primary , P-R drag of second primary , radiation pressure of first primary and radiation pressure of second primary , respectively. Thus,

Figure (1)(a-d) shows the variations of critical mass ratio with respect to perturbing parameters and respectively. We observed that the effects of the perturbations in question are significant. As, system will be stable when four roots of the characteristic equation (21) are pure imaginary, which is possible when the mass parameter satisfy the condition . Since, we are analyzing the nonlinear stability within the range of linear stability , it is obvious to assume that roots of the characteristic equation (21) are pure imaginary. Suppose, the roots of the characteristic equation (21) are and , where can be obtained by solving the equation

4 Nonlinear Stability in Non-resonance Case
Nonlinear stability of the equilibrium points can be described in two cases, one as resonance case and other as non-resonance case. For resonance case, the nonlinear stability is studied through the theorems of Markeev and Sokolskii (1977) as in Goździewski (1998) and for non-resonance case, it is analyzed through the Arnold-Moser theorem. In the present analysis the nonlinear stability of the perturbed triangular equilibrium point in non-resonance case will be studied through Arnold-Moser theorem (Meyer and Schmidt, 1986; Meyer et al, 1992), which is described as follows:
Consider the Hamiltonian expressed in action variables and angles variables as,
[TABLE]
in which: (i) is homogeneous polynomial of degree in action variables and is higher degree polynomial than (ii) with as positive constants (iii) , where are constants to be determined. Since, are functions of and , the Hamiltonian (39) follows the Birkhoff normal form (Birkhoff, 1927) up to the terms . This can be obtained with some non-resonance condition on the frequencies . To state the Arnold-Moser theorem, we assume that is in the required form.
Arnold-Moser Theorem: The origin is stable for the system whose Hamiltonian is (39) provided for some , .
Since, for Arnold-Moser theorem, Birkhoff normal form of the Hamiltonian is necessary and for Birkhoff normal form, assumption of non-resonance on frequencies is required. The non-resonance condition of frequencies as in Deprit and Deprit-Bartholome (1967); Kishor and Kushvah (2017) is that if are frequencies of infinitesimal mass in linear dynamics and such that , then
[TABLE]
for all satisfying . This is also, called as condition of irrationality, which insures that there exists a symplectic normalizing transformation which transform the Hamiltonian (12) in the form of Hamiltonian (39). Coefficients of the normalized Hamiltonian are independent on the integer as well as to the transformation obtained. In specific
[TABLE]
is invariant of the Hamiltonian (39) with respect to the symplectic transformation considered. The nonlinear stability of perturbed triangular equilibrium points is analyzed through the Arnold-Moser theorem under these conditions. In classical case frequencies satisfy the condition . Therefore, if , then irrationality condition (40) fails for following pairs of integers , , and . First, two pairs of integers with condition (40) yield and last two pairs of integers give , which are also known as second and third order resonance of the frequencies respectively. If or , then from equations (27-28), we get
[TABLE]
Simplifying equation (42), we have a quadratic equation in as
[TABLE]
The solution of equation (43) within the stability range is
[TABLE]
This means, Arnold-Moser theorem fails at . If or , then proceeding on similar basis, we find that Arnold-Moser theorem fails at , where
[TABLE]
Equations (44-45) are similar to that of the results in Deprit and Deprit-Bartholome (1967); Kishor and Kushvah (2013) and agree with classical result in the absence of perturbing parameters. To see the effects of perturbing parameters on and , its numerical values are computed and presented in Table-1. From Table-1, it is clear that the values of and are very much affected from radiation pressures and P-R drags of the primaries.
5 Fourth order Normalized Hamiltonian
Since, Birkhoff’s normal form up to fourth order of the Hamiltonian is necessary to apply the Arnold-Moser theorem, which is computed from second order normalized Hamiltonian (13) using Lie transform method described in Coppola and Rand (1988, 1989b); Jorba (1999); Celletti (2010); Kishor and Kushvah (2017). As, in the paper of Coppola and Rand (1989b) as well as in the book of Celletti (2010), higher order normalized Hamiltonian is
[TABLE]
where
[TABLE]
such that Quadratic part of is , whereas through the nth step of Lie transform is given as
[TABLE]
where Lie bracket of normalized quadratic Hamiltonian and generating function is defined as
[TABLE]
Using from equation (13), it reduces to
[TABLE]
The choice of generating function is such that the above partial differential operator on remove large possible number of terms from the expression of . As, each terms of the is of the form , where is constant, we can assume terms in of the form , where constant is to be determined. Therefore, we obtain that
[TABLE]
and hence,
[TABLE]
This shows that even in the non-resonance case, the term of the form in can not be deleted because of vanishing denominator in (52) at , whereas in the resonance case some additional non-removable terms occur while solving the generating function . Hence, in non-resonance case, the Hamiltonian of the present problem can be written in the form of (46), in which
[TABLE]
where and . Using action variables and in equations (53-55), we get
[TABLE]
Thus, normalized Hamiltonian up to fourth order is
[TABLE]
which agree with that of Deprit and Deprit-Bartholome (1967); Kushvah et al (2007); Kishor and Kushvah (2017).
Form equations (59), it is clear that fourth order normalized Hamiltonian is the function of only action variables , which shows that these are in Birkhoff normal form. The coefficients used in the equation (55 or 58) can be written into parts such as , , , and for such that . These coefficients corresponds to the term of classical part, terms with P-R drags and of first and second primary, radiation pressures and of first and second primary, respectively. In the absence of perturbing parameters i.e. for , . Therefore, and become
[TABLE]
The algebraic expressions of above coefficients on right hand sides of equations (60-62) are too complicated and huge to be placed here hence, we avoid to present in the paper. These are utilized to compute the determinant for applying the Arnold-Moser theorem. For the simplicity, is expressed as
[TABLE]
where are numerator and denominator of the coefficients, which correspond to classical part, P-R drags and of the primaries, radiation pressure and of the primaries, respectively. On simplification, we found that
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
In the absence of perturbing parameters,
[TABLE]
which agree with the classical result (Deprit and Deprit-Bartholome, 1967; Meyer and Schmidt, 1986; Kushvah et al, 2007; Kishor and Kushvah, 2017). In order to analyze the nonlinear stability of triangular equilibrium points in non-resonance case using Arnold-Moser theorem, we plot the determinant with respect to the mass parameter to insure the value of . From figures (2-6), it is clear that within the linear stability range , there exists one value of mass parameter , called the zero of , at which vanish in each case. Thus, Arnold-Moser theorem fails, which insure that in non-resonance case, triangular equilibrium points of the problem under analysis are unstable in nonlinear sense within the linear stability range . To see the effect of perturbing parameters, we have computed values of the zero of and critical mass ratio at different values of perturbing parameters and results are placed in Table-2. From Table-2, it is noticed that on increase in the values of , value of critical mass increases but the value of is nonzero in each case. On the other hand, on increase in the value of , decreases with nonzero . Thus, from the figures (2-6) as well as from the Table-2, it is clear that radiation pressure and P-R drag of both the primaries affect the linear stability range of the problem significantly. The nonzero value of the zero of the determinant in the Arnold-Moser theorem under non-resonance case, insure the instability of triangular equilibrium points, within the range of stability .
6 Conclusions
We have considered the photogravitational restricted three body problem in the presence of radiation pressure force and P-R drag of both the massive bodies, which are radiating in nature. Analysis of nonlinear stability of the triangular equilibrium points is performed in non-resonance case using Arnold-Moser theorem under the influence of four perturbing parameters in the form of P-R drags and mass reduction factors , of both the primaries. First, we have normalized the Hamiltonian of the problem up to order four using Lie transform method and then Birkhoff normal form of the Hamiltonian constructed, which is necessary to apply the Arnold-Moser theorem in non-resonance case. The determinant of the Arnold-Moser theorem is computed analytically under the consideration of only linear order terms of perturbing parameters, which agree with that of Deprit and Deprit-Bartholome (1967); Meyer and Schmidt (1986); Kushvah et al (2007); Kishor and Kushvah (2017) in the absence of perturbing parameters. To apply the Arnold-Moser theorem in non-resonance case, we have plotted the determinant with respect to the mass parameter within the stability range . It is observed that in presence as well as in absence of perturbing parameters, there exist a nonzero value of at which vanish (figures (2-6)), which insure that triangular equilibrium points are unstable in nonlinear sense. The effect of perturbing parameters are also analyzed and it is found that on increasing the values of , critical mass ratio increases, with the existence of nonzero in each case , whereas on increasing the value of , decreases with the existence of nonzero (Figure (1) and Table-2). A similar trend is also seen in case of and (Table-1). Thus, we conclude that due to radiation pressure and P-R drag of both the primaries, the linear stability range of the problem get changed, significantly. Also, due to existence of nonzero value of the zero of the determinant in the Arnold-Moser theorem under non-resonance case, within the range of stability , triangular equilibrium points are unstable in nonlinear sense. Present analysis is limited up to first order terms of the perturbing parameter, which may be extended to higher order inclusion of the terms. The results obtained can help to analyze the more generalized problem under the influence of other perturbations such as albedo, solar wind drag, Stokes drag etc.
