Notes on Hori method for non-canonical systems

Abstract

In this paper the new approach for the integration theory of the canonical version of Hori method recently proposed is extended to the non-canonical one. It will be shown that the non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation with an auxiliary parameter t* associated with the mth order equation of the algorithm can also be replaced by a non-homogeneous partial differential equation in the time t. Using a generalized canonical approach, the general algorithm proposed by Sessin is then revised; as well as the Lagrange variational equations for the non-canonical version of Hori method. A simplified algorithm derived from Sessin's algorithm is presented for non-linear oscillations problem.
