The stability of the permanent rotation of the Euler, Lagrange and Kovalevskaya gyros about a fixed point in the Newtonian central force field is investigated by Liapunov direct method, which improve Leimanis’ and Rumiantsev’s result of stability conditions. For the sake of high accuracy, the first and second order terms of R-1 expressed by potential energy of the Newtonian central force field have been considered, where the R is the distance from the fixed point to the center of attraction.

This paper is concerned with the problem of obtaining the differential equation of the trajectory of dynamical system. Time is eliminated by means of some first integral linear with respect to the velocities. As an example, the stability of rotation of a heavy asymmetric rigid body with a fixed point under the action of the Newtonian central force field is considered.

A new theorem for determining the definiteness of sign of functions is presented. As the examples illustrate, it is applied to the stability of permanent rotations of a rigid body about a fixed point in five cases.
