Contopoulos, G., 1966: Adiabatic invariants and the "third" integral. J. Math. Phys., 7, 788, doi:10.1063/1.1931208.

In a general case of Hamiltonian systems of n degrees of freedom, depending periodically ontime, n formal "third" integrals of motion are found. Their application in finding boundaries for theorbits is illustrated in a special case. Then a comparison is made between these integrals and theadiabatic invariants. Both are series expansions but the small parameter used is of different characterin each case. This is shown explicitly in a simple example and the relative accuracy of the twoexpansions is discussed.
