Abstract

The adiabatic and postadiabatic approximations, as well as the adiabatic and nonstationary perturbation theories, are constructed using a canonical averaging method under the assumptions which are more general than those used in the existing theories. An asymptotic evaluation of the proximity of rigorous and approximate solutions is performed.
