  Hamiltonian mechanics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hamiltonian mechanics is a re-formulation of classical mechanics that was invented in 1833 by William Rowan Hamilton.
The Hamiltonian induces a special vector field on the symplectic manifold, known as the symplectic vector field.
The solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi equations for this Hamiltonian are then the same as the geodesics on the manifold.

 Flow Equations for Hamiltonians
The aim is to generate a bound state equation in a quantum field theory, particularly to derive an effective Hamiltonian which is practically solvable in Fock-spaces with reduced particle number, such that the approach can ultimately be used to address to the same problem for quantum chromodynamics.
The flow equations describing the continuous unitary transformation which brings the Hamiltonian closer to diagonality are derived and solved exactly for the Lipkin model in the Holstein-Primakoff boson representation and for a large particle number N.
The finite-size Tomonaga-Luttinger Hamiltonian with an arbitrary delta impurity at weak electron-electron interaction is mapped onto a non-interacting Fermi gas with renormalized impurity potential by means of flow equations for Hamiltonians.

 Hamiltonian
These Euler-Lagrange equations assert that the partial time derivative of the partial derivative of the Lagrangian relative to the speed component minus the partial derivative of the Lagrangian relative to the corresponding position component (for a given direction in space) exactly vanishes.
The Hamiltonian equations assert, firstly, that the speed component is the partial derivative of the Hamiltonian with respect to the corresponding momentum component.
We start in the Hamiltonian picture and define finite "canonical transformations" as new positions (Q) and their canonical momenta (P) that are each functions of both old positions (q) and their canonical momenta (p) in such a way that the Hamiltonian equations retain the same form under the transformation.

Hamiltonian equations of motion for a nonrelativistic charged particle in magnetospheric hydromagnetic perturbations are derived.
The equations are gyroaveraged, allowing much larger time steps in numerical solutions of the equations of motion compared to integrating the full Lorentz equations of motion, but they contain finite-gyroradius effects to all orders in, where is the perpendicular wave number and is the particle gyroradius.
The Hamiltonian conservation properties are useful for checking the accuracy of numerical integration schemes and they are essential for the use of Poincaré surface-of-section plots.

Hamiltonian equations live on cotangent bundle while Lagrange equations on a tangent bundle.
However, Hamilton's equations require a choice of an "observer" (trivialization of the fiber bundle of histories).
The Hamilton-Jacobi equations are most often introduced (obscurely) as a result of "canonical transformation of coordinates." But in fact -- HJ equations concern existence of a Lagrangian submanifold in the phase space on which a "wave-phase" is determined.

 Brian's RESEARCH STATEMENT   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
However, we have shown in the specific case of the sine-Gordon equation that initializing the scheme with a traveling wave solution of the modified equation yields a numerical solution of higher order accuracy, providing confirmation that the modified equations do, in fact, represent the numerical method.
For the spatially discrete Nagumo equation with homogeneous diffusion there are analytic results concerning propagation failure of traveling waves for the problem with a piecewise linear approximation to the nonlinearity [2], and there are numerical results that suggest propagation failure for the nonlinear problem [7], depending on known parameters.
Showing that the modified equations are an exact representation of the discretization and proving there are heteroclinic connections for this modified system would provide sufficient explanation of propagation failure for the original problem with small parameter values.

 Quantum Mathematics
We develop a new technique to bring such singular equations to normal order (which differs from the usual normal order because it involves not the usual but the causal commutator); once this is done, most quantities of physical interest can be calculated simply by solving a linear equation.
In the past ten years this type of equation has been widely used to build a multiplicity of phenomenological models in quantum optics, solidstate physics, quantum field theory, quantum measurement theory, etc. Thus the stochastic limit allows these phenomenological models to be deduced from the basic laws of physics.
All the known types of master equations (and several new ones) are obtained just by taking the partial expectation of Langevin equations with respect to the reference state of the master field.

 Zitterbewegung
Relativity and spinorial properties are not the only obstreperous features of the Dirac equation, as one discovers when he begins to obtain explicit solutions and to delve further into the properties of that equation.
Here it is to be seen that the position operator consists, as we would expect, of the sum of an initial position vector, a displacement which is proportional to the elapsed time, and finally an unexpected term which represents a violent oscillation of the particle with an amplitude equal to its Compton wavelength.
Thus, by 1950 there had emerged a fairly clear idea of the significance of the four components of the Dirac wave equation, that they corresponded to the occurrence of two energy states and two spin states, and some of the complications which their existence could produce.

Abstract: It is well known that field equations, derived from a variational principle, possess two different notions of energy-momentum tensors: the first one based on symmetries of the underlying variational functional (the Noether-like energy-momentum tensor), and the second one obtained from a variational extension of the field equations (variational energy-momentum tensors).
Since, in this setting, Hamilton equations become equations for integral sections of a differential system, it is possible to understand the concepts of regularity and of Legendre transformation geometrically as properties of the Hamiltonian differential system.
This geometric object is suitable for the study of singular differential equations which are affine in the velocities.

Low's well known action principle for the Maxwell-Vlasov equations of ideal plasma dynamics was originally expressed in terms of a mixture of Eulerian and Lagrangian variables.
Because of degeneracies in the Lagrangian, the Legendre transform is dealt with using the Dirac theory of constraints.
Another Maxwell-Vlasov Poisson structure is known, whose ingredients are the Lie-Poisson bracket on the dual of the Lie algebra of symplectomorphisms of phase space and the Born-Infeld brackets for the Maxwell field.

The interpretation of these equations is that the fact that in a rotating coordinate system there are additional forces acting upon the body, represented by the three additional terms in the right-hand side of this equation.

 The Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics
The Hamiltonian of a system is defined to be the sum of the kinetic and potential energies expressed as a function of positions and their conjugate momenta.
The solution of Hamilton's equations of motion will yield a trajectory in terms of positions and momenta as functions of time.
Again, Hamilton's equations can be easily shown to be equivalent to Newton's equations, and, like the Lagrangian formulation, Hamilton's equations can be used to determine the equations of motion of a system in any set of coordinates.
