A three-dimensional harmonic oscillator has the force constant k1 in the x- and y- directions and k3 in the z-direction. Using cylindrical coordinates (with the axis of the cylinder in the z direction), describe the motion in terms of the corresponding action-angle variables, showing how the frequencies can be obtained. Transform to the “proper” action-angle variables to eliminate degenerate frequencies.
