Abstract
A well-known scheme of topological analysis [1] is extended to the cas e of three or more integrals which are quadratic functions of the velo city. The bifurcation set is parametrized by Lagrange multipliers, whi ch corresponds to a transition to the dual surface. As an example, the motion of a rigid body in a field with quadratic potential is conside red. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
