Abstract

We propose a perturbation algorithm for Hamiltonian systems on a Lie algebra V\mathbb{V}, so that it can be applied to non-canonical Hamiltonian systems. Given a Hamiltonian system that preserves a subalgebra B\mathbb{B} of V\mathbb{V}, when we add a perturbation the subalgebra B\mathbb{B} will no longer be preserved. We show how to transform the perturbed dynamical system to preserve B\mathbb{B} up to terms quadratic in the perturbation. We apply this method to study the dynamics of a non-autonomous symmetric Rigid Body. In this example our algebraic transform plays the role of Iterative Lemma in the proof of a KAM-like statement.
