A Hamiltonian approach to the solution of the Vlasov-Poisson equations has been developed. Based on a nonlinear canonical transformation, the rapidly oscillating terms in the original Hamiltonian are transformed away, yielding a new Hamiltonian that contains slowly varying terms only. The formalism has been applied to the dynamics of an intense beam propagating through a periodic focusing lattice, and to the coherent beam-beam interaction. A stationary solution to the transformed Vlasov equation has been obtained.
