AbstractThe equations of motion of the star-members of the cluster averaged on the elliptic orbits are obtained. These equations take into account the tidal forces of the Galaxy. The generalization of the Lagrange-Jacobi equation and Sundman inequality for non-classical scheme of the many-body problems is revised. The dynamical evolution of the moment of inertia is studied. Some theorems which determine the type of the star motion in the cluster are formulated.
