the path which minimizes the time integral of the difference between |

For a holonomic system of $f$ degrees of freedom, the equations of |

|
Arising from Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics was |
129 |
|
introduced by William Rowan Hamilton in 1833 as a re-formulation of |
130 |
|
classical mechanics. If the potential energy of a system is |
131 |
< |
independent of generalized velocities, the generalized momenta can |
136 |

be defined as |
131 |

independent of velocities, the momenta can be defined as |

p_i = \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot q_i} |

|
\label{introEquation:generalizedMomenta} |
167 |
|
By identifying the coefficients of $dq_k$, $dp_k$ and dt, we can |
168 |
|
find |
169 |
|
\begin{equation} |
170 |
< |
\frac{{\partial H}}{{\partial p_k }} = q_k |

An important difference between Lagrangian approach and the |

|
Hamiltonian approach is that the Lagrangian is considered to be a |
191 |
< |
function of the generalized velocities $\dot q_i$ and the |
192 |
< |
generalized coordinates $q_i$, while the Hamiltonian is considered |
193 |

to be a function of the generalized momenta $p_i$ and the conjugate |
194 |

generalized coordinate $q_i$. Hamiltonian Mechanics is more |
195 |

appropriate for application to statistical mechanics and quantum |

mechanics, since it treats the coordinate and its time derivative as |

|
A microscopic state or microstate of a classical system is |
235 |
|
specification of the complete phase space vector of a system at any |
251 |
|
regions of the phase space. The condition of an ensemble at any time |
252 |

can be regarded as appropriately specified by the density $\rho$ |
253 |

with which representative points are distributed over the phase |

|
Governed by the principles of mechanics, the phase points change |
261 |

their value which would change the density at any time at phase |

space. Hence, the density of distribution is also to be taken as a |

The number of systems $\delta N$ at time $t$ can be determined by, |

One of the motivations to study \emph{symplectic manifolds} in |

Hamiltonian Mechanics is that a symplectic manifold can represent |

all possible configurations of the system and the phase space of the |
522 |

system can be described by it's cotangent bundle. Every symplectic |
