Abstract
The post-Newtonian equation of motion of the restricted, circular thre e-body problem are integrated numerically. Using this integration the stable region around the triangular libration point L(4) for a relativ istic system of mass ration earth-moon is calculated. The set of stabl e points is compared with the results of McKenzie and Szevehely found for the Newtonian case. The stable region shows a very complex structu re which shows similarities to the one found in the Newtonion problem. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
