Abstract
This paper aims to present a method to investigate the long term evolution of a perturbed system. The unperturbed system is supposed to possess an integral of the form:
and the perturbation to be time-dependant. The results are compared to direct analytical and numerical computations in the case of a perturbed harmonic oscillator. Then, it is shown how this method applies to the lifetime of a binary asteroid perturbed by Jupiter.
