Abstract: Electrostatic traps with ideal spatiotemporal focusing in one of the directions of ion motion and the motion in transverse directions integrated using the Hamilton-Jacobi method are considered. Conditions for the ion confinement in the trap field are determined. The finite character of ion motion under confinement conditions is independently checked by the numerical integration of the Lagrange equations.
