Abstract
The motion of a particle that suffers the influence of simple inner (outer) periodic perturbations when it evolves around a center of attraction modeled by an inverse square law plus a quadrupole-like term is studied. The equations of motion are used to reduce the Melnikov method to the study of simple graphics.
