Abstract

This paper provides a detailed introduction into the differential algebra (DA) based normal form algorithm using the example of the symplectic one dimensional system of the centrifugal governor. The intention of this paper is to make the single steps of the algorithm as transparent as possible in the hope that the understanding and use of DA normal form methods will spread throughout the scientific community.
