Abstract: If A is a Hamiltonian matrix and P a symplectic matrix, the product P−1AP is a Hamiltonian matrix. In this paper, we consider the case where the matrix A has a pair of imaginary eigenvalues and develop an algorithm which finds a matrix P such that the matrix P−1AP has a particularly simple form, a canonical form.
