Normal forms in a cyclically graded Lie algebra (Q2457354)

An extension of those Lie series methods developed by the present authors is used. Those extended methods make use of spectral sequences and are developed in considerable generality, i.e., their applicability is by no means to the Hamiltonian context of this paper. Normal forms are computed directly from spectral sequences. Also, the relationship of the present authors' approach to the work of \textit{V. I. Arnol'd} [Sel. Math. Sov. 1, 3--18 (1981); translation from Zadachy Mekh. Mat. Fiz., Moscow, 7--20 (1976; Zbl 0472.58006)], \textit{J. Sanders} [J. Differ. Equations 192, No.~2, 536--552 (2003; Zbl 1039.34032) and Acta Appl. Math. 87, No.~1--3, 165--189 (2005; Zbl 1077.34043)] and \textit{J. Murdock} [J. Differ. Equations 205, No. 2, 424--465 (2004; Zbl 1062.34042)] is discussed. In particular, the results can be derived using more classical methods, although one must still extend \textit{A. Baider}'s ideas [J. Differ. Equations 78, No.~1, 33--52 (1989; Zbl 0689.70005)]. A specific example is worked out in detail.
