Adiabatic invariants for linear Hamiltonian systems

n independent adiabatic invariants in involution are found for a slowly varying Hamiltonian system of order 2n × 2n. The Hamiltonian system considered is $\text{?}\text{u}\text{?}\text{= A(t)u}\text{as}\text{? → 0}{}^{\mathrm{+}}$, where A(t) is a 2n × 2n real matrix with distinct, pure imaginary eigen values for each t? [?∞, ∞], and $\text{d}{}^{\mathrm{(j)}}\text{A}\text{dt}{}^{\mathrm{(j)}}\text{? L}{}_{\mathrm{j}}\text{(?∞, ∞)}$, for all j > 0. The adiabatic invariants I_s(u, t), s = 1,…, n are expressed in terms of the eigen vectors of A(t). Approximate solutions for the system to arbitrary order of ? are obtained uniformly for t? [?∞, ∞].
