Abstract

The Hamiltonian structure underlying ideal multifluid electrodynamics is formulated in a way that simplifies Hamiltonian perturbation calculations. We consider linear and lowest-order nonlinear theory, and the results in Part 1 of this series of papers are generalized in a satisfactory way. Thus the Hermitian structure of linearized dynamics is derived, and we obtain the coupling coefficients for resonant three-wave interaction in symmetric form, giving the Manley–Rowe relations.
