The trajectory of the isotropic three-dimensional oscillator in
relativistic classical mechanics is derived. Its form depends on
the values of the angular momentum l. It is a rosette for
and a circle for 
, where l0 is the maximum
value of the angular momentum for a given energy. According to
expectation, in the non-relativistic limit, the rosette reduces to
an ellipse.
