Define an integrable system with -dimensional phase space. Define angle-action variables.
Consider a two-dimensional phase space with the Hamiltonian
where is a positive integer and the mass changes slowly in time. Use the fact that the action is an adiabatic invariant to show that the energy varies in time as , where is a constant which should be found.
