Systems |
General Types > s.a. [classical mechasnics; hamiltonian
dynamics]; phase space; schrödinger
equation;
statistical mechanics.
* Common forms: The classical ones are of the type H = T + V,
with T = (1/2) hij pi pj; > s.a. jacobi dynamics.
* Single particle: Configuration space = Physical space.
* Lagrangians linear in velocities: Use the Faddeev-Jackiw, or symplectic,
method.
* Non-canonical: The
equations of motion cannot be obtained from a variational principle,
and are of the form
u/t
= J(u) 
/u .
Specific Types of Systems > s.a. constrained
systems; oscillator; parametrized
theories;
particle physics.
* Coupled oscillators: The Hamiltonian is of the form
H = 
Gab
Pa Pb + Vab qaqb
.

even a timelike one,
or a corner!
