Abstract

The equations of motion of an ellipsoid on a smooth horizontal plane are similar to the equations of motion of a heavy rigid body with a fixed point. In general, one integral is also lacking in order to integrate them. For a triaxial ellipsoid, the centre of mass of which coincides with the geometrical centre, it is proved that an additional integral is lacking (in the generic case).
