How do you find the generating function of a canonical transformation?
Conversely, given a function F(q, Q, t) such that ∂2F/∂q∂Q = 0, Eqs. (14) can be locally inverted to find Q and P in terms of q, p, and t. In this way, F is a generating function of a canonical transformation. Q = arctan q p , P = √ p2 + q2.
What are the conditions for canonical transformation?
If λ = 1 then the transformation is canonical, which is what we will study. If λ = 1 then the transformation is extended canonical, and the results from λ = 1 can be recovered by rescaling q and p appropriately.
What is canonical transformation explain?
Example. A canonical transformation is often defined by saying that it must transform any Hamiltonian flow into another one, and this seems to be exactly the definition of a certain normalizer.
Why Hamilton's equations are called canonical?
Hamilton's equations form a set of 2s first-order differential equations for the 2s unknown functions replacing the s second-order equations in the Lagrangian treatment. They are also called canonical equations because of their simplicity and symmetry of form.
