Resumen

This paper is the first part of a study of the Hénon and Heiles problem in three dimensions. Due to the axial symmetry of the Hamiltonian, the third component of the angular momentum is an integral and the system is considered as a Hamiltonian with two degrees of freedom. As functions of that integral, we show the existence of three circular trajectories around the axis Oz and a domain for which we have bounded motions. In the part of that domain near the origin, the corresponding dynamical system is treated as a perturbed harmonic oscillator in 1-1-1 resonance. We present some numerical studies searching for periodic orbits, showing the corresponding Poincaré surfaces of section. In addition, we obtain some natural families of periodic orbits associated with the relative equilibria of the fourth order normalized system.
