The original Hamiltonian is converted into a solvable one by a transformation obtained through a Magnus expansion. This ensures unitarity at every order in a small parameter. A comparison with the standard perturbation theory is provided. We work out the scheme up to order ten with some simple examples.", optnote="WOS:000300185400005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=893), last updated on Thu, 01 Mar 2012 10:14:33 +0000", issn="1364-5021", doi="10.1098/rspa.2011.0388", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1098/rspa.2011.0388", language="English" }
