چکیده
The variational formulation for Lie-transform Hamiltonian perturbation theory is presented in terms of an action functional defined on a two-dimensional parameter space. A fundamental equation in Hamiltonian perturbation theory is shown to result from the freedom of choice of the integration path for the action functional.

متن کاملPerturbation of purely imaginary eigenvalues of Hamiltonian matrices under structured perturbations
The perturbation theory for purely imaginary eigenvalues of Hamiltonian matrices under Hamiltonian and non-Hamiltonian perturbations is discussed. It is shown that there is a substantial difference in the behavior under these perturbations. The perturbation of real eigenvalues of real skew-Hamiltonian matrices under structured perturbations is discussed as well and these results are used to ana...

متن کاملUnidirectionalization of Hamiltonian Waves
We show how the restriction of certain bidirectional hamiltonian systems modelling nonlinear, one-dimensional wave propagation to waves moving in a single direction preserves the hamiltonian structure, even though the perturbation expansion of the bidirectional hamiltonian is not correct. A combination of the two approaches of direct hamiltonian perturbation theory and the method of multiple sc...
متن کاملHamiltonian Perturbation Theory (and Transition to Chaos)
The fundamental problem of mechanics is to study Hamiltonian systems that are small perturbations of integrable systems. But also perturbations that destroy the Hamiltonian character are important, be it to study the effect of a small amount of friction, or to further the theory of dissipative systems themselves which surprisingly often revolves around certain well-chosen Hamiltonian systems. F...
