The generalized canonical form of Hori's method for non-canonical systems

Any dynamical system can be put in generalized canonical form through the introduction of a set of auxiliary ‘conjugate’ variables or momenta and solved by perturbation theory based on Lie series. The application of Hori's method for generalized canonical system leads to a new canonical transformation — the Mathieu transformation — defined by the solution of the Hori auxiliary system. This new transformation simplifies the algorithm since the inversion of the solution of the Hori auxiliary system is no longer necessary. In this paper, we wish to show some peculiarities of this technique.
