Abstract
In this paper we examine in detail the procedure of averaging
of the local field-theoretic Poisson brackets proposed by B.A. Dubrovin
and S.P. Novikov for the method of Whitham.
The main attention is paid to
the questions of justification and the conditions of applicability of the
Dubrovin-Novikov procedure.
Separate consideration is given to special
features of single-phase and multiphase cases.
In particular, one of the
main results is the insensitivity of the procedure of bracket averaging
to the appearance of ''resonances'' which can arise in the multi-phase
situation.
Key words:
quasiperiodic solutions; slow modulations; Hamiltonian structures.
