Abstract
A computer-assisted reformulation of Sundman's determination of the the domain of absolute convergence of the Laplacian expansion fo the disturbing function is given. Sundman's results are extended to the cases of librating perihelions and a convergence criterion is established for the case of mutually inclined orbits.
