ABSTRACT

A Hamiltonian system is one for which the equations can be obtained from a single scalar function, H(p, q, t), called the Hamiltonian, in terms of which the equations are () p ′ = − ∂ H ∂ q ,             q ′ = ∂ H ∂ p   . https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203745489/72d71235-428b-4675-8f02-a350ed612e08/content/eq1897.tif"/>
