Dynamical perturbations on ensembles of particles in heliocentric orbits of low eccentricity are integrated over time. The dust is perturbed by radiation pressure, Poynting-Robertson drag, their corpuscular counterparts, and by gravitation due to any number of planets. A dust cloud is represented by a set of centroids and orbital dispersions (about the centroids). Gravitational perturbations on the centroid are derived from a single matrix, valid for any planet, in the appropriate frame of reference. After transformation of the time derivatives to a common coordinate system, the perturbation rates are summed up and integrated. The time dependence of the planets’ orbital elements are evaluated inside the time integral.
