The Liouville theorem as a problem of common eigenfunctions

Classical Physics 2015-03-25 v1

Abstract

It is shown that, by appropriately defining the eigenfunctions of a function defined on the extended phase space, the Liouville theorem on solutions of the Hamilton--Jacobi equation can be formulated as the problem of finding common eigenfunctions of nn constants of motion in involution, where nn is the number of degrees of freedom of the system.
