Abstract:
A system which differs from an integrable Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom by a small Hamiltonian perturbation and much a smaller non-Hamiltonian perturbation is considered. The unperturbed system is isoenergetically nondegenerate. The averaging method is used for an approximate description of solutions of the exact system on a time interval inversely proportional to the amplitude of the non-Hamiltonian perturbation. The error of this description (averaged over initial conditions) is estimated from above by a value proportional to the square root of the amplitude of the Hamiltonian perturbation.
