Abstract
We consider a formal (approximate) integral of motion in Hamiltonians of the form generalizing previous cases with . First we give the general form of this integral when is irrational and then we consider the case of commensurable frequencies. In particular we study the integrals for the resonances and . We also calculate the invariant curves and the orbits in the cases and (with ) and we compare the exact-numerical and the theoretical results predicted by the formal integral when . In the special case we find an integral when and or and , but this is not possible when . However, we find that the invariant curves and the orbits can be approximated by a non-resonant integral with .
