Resonance Basis for Taylor Series, Poisson Bracket Operators and Vector Fields
If a Taylor series is Floquet basis, that is to say, if we expect the phase space variables to move on circles, then it makes sense to replace (q,p) in each plane by a new set of variables:
(x1,x2)=(x+ip,x-ip)=B-1(x,p). For example, if T is of type Taylor and Tres of type Taylorresonance, then Tres=t transforms t into the new basis. In fact, Tres= Tres%cos + i Tres%sin.
The same applies to types Pbfield and Pbresonance. For type Vecfield and Vecresonance, the relationship between a vector field and its resonance basis representation is slightly more complex.
A vector field V•Grad turns into the resonance basis W•Grad: W(x)=B-1V(Bx). (See the following Jpeg for the definition of B.)
The two sets of Tables contain a lot of useful information and tons of example programs
