Scientific paper

Following recent basic developments by Binney and Spergel, the equations of motion for a star in a galactic potential have been transformed from time to angle variables. A numerical procedure has been devised to solve the transformed equations for two-dimensional box and loop orbits in the equatorial plane of a triaxial potential. In this procedure an orbit is specified not by its starting values in phase space, but either by its frequencies or by its action values. A substantial set of orbits has been derived by this procedure for one potential. The results for their physical and geometrical characteristics are displayed in action diagrams.
