Abstract

The expansion of the surprisal in one or a few observables is derived from a variational (action) principle for hamiltonian systems. Whenever phenomenological sum rules exist or "slow" variables can be identified on physical grounds, the variational approximation will be accurate and a hamiltonian-like formalism for the description of the collision in terms of a few variables is sufficient.
