    Author(s): Kurakin L. G.

    We investigate the stability problem for a system of five stationary rotation identical point vortices located at the vertices of a regular pentagon inside a circular domain. The main result is the proof of theorems which have been announced the author in paper (Doklady Physics, 2004, vol. 49, no 11, pp. 658–661).
