Abstract

We consider a circular chain of N particles with nearest neighbour interaction. Under a condition which is generically fulfilled all periodic solutions near a normal mode frequency are obtained and their symmetry properties are investigated. The genericity condition is explicitly evaluated for a three particle system.
