Garrido, L M

General criteria to be satisfied by a slowly time dependent Hamiltonian in order to possess adiabatic invariants of the m-th order are given. The degree of approximate constancy of such adiabatic invariants was evaluated. These methods were applied to the motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field. (auth)
