The modelling of the insufficient orbital elements of extra-solar planets (EPs) revolving around one component in a binary star system is investigated in the present paper. This problem is considered in the frame of the three-body problem using the analytical theory of Orlov & Solovaya (1998). In the general case, the motion is defined by the masses of the components and by the six pairs of the initial values of the Keplerian elements. For EPs, it is not possible to obtain the complete set of elements for the orbit, in particular, the ascending node and the angle of the inclination. So, it is possible the two different variants of orbital evolution of EPs depend on the initial conditions. In one case, the orbit is unstable. Using the stability conditions of Solovaya & Pittich (2004), which are presented by the angle of the mutual inclination of the orbits between the EP and distant star, we varied unknown angular elements and defined the regions with possible values of the elements for which the motion of EP stays stable. We applied these calculations to the particular specific EPs: HD19994b, HD196885Ab and HD222404b.
