Abstract
The solution of the equations of motion defined by the Hamiltonian function is found through the use of power series expansions in the perturbation parameter λ. The solution is in the form of 2N independent integrals of motion where the perturbation terms of these integrals are given by recursion formulas and Pk(ql, pl), Qk(ql, pl) is the canonical transformation for which PN = H0(ql, pl), (δkN = Kronecker delta, {} = Poisson bracket). Quantities Jk, wk are the canonical variables giving the perturbed Hamiltonian the form H = JN. There are 2N − 1 time-independent integrals: J1 ,…, JN, W1 ,…, WN−1 describing the trajectory in 2N-dimensional phase space. The last integral WN − t = const, determines the position on the trajectory at any given time.
