Abstract
Minimal energy solutions have been found under variation of the direct ion of the rotational vector with respect to the principal axes of a t riaxial harmonic oscillator potential. It turns out that only shapes t hat are without rotation genuinely triaxial but near oblate, can give rise to lower minima for tilted rotations within a specified window of the rotational frequency.
