Summary: "It is well known that the restricted three-body problem has triangular equilibrium points. These points are linearly stable for values of the mass parameter, , below Routh's critical value, 1. It is also known that in the spatial case they are nonlinearly stable, not for all the initial conditions in a neighborhood of the equilibrium points L4, L5 but for a set of relatively large measures. This follows from the celebrated Kolmogorov Arnold Moser theorem. In fact there are neighborhoods of computable size for which one obtains practical stability in the sense that the massless particle rema
