In a previous paper, entitled the “Vibrations of a Particle about a Position of Equilibrium,” by the author in collaboration with Professor E. B. Ross (Proc. Edin. Math. Soc., XXXIX, 1921, pp. 34–57), a particular dynamical system having two degrees of freedom was chosen and solutions of the corresponding differential equations were obtained in terms of periodic series and also in terms of elliptic functions. It was shown that for certain values of the frequencies of the principal vibrations, the periodic series become divergent, whereas the elliptic function solution continues to give finite results.
