Abstract
Consider the integrable problem of motion of a gyrostat with the Kowalevski type inertia tensor in a double force field. We study the special periodic motions (the rank 1 critical points of the integral mapping) found by M.P. Kharlamov (Mekhanika Tverdogo Tela, No 37, 2007). Possible transformations inside the set of such motions depending on three essential parameters are studied. We obtain the analytical equations of the separating set and its singularities, point out the regions with different sets of motions. We find the image of the separating set in the space of parameters defining the bifurcation diagrams on iso-energetic levels. The most complicated calculations are fulfilled with the help of the computer system Mathematica 7.
