Hamilton's equation hamugeš-e Hamilton Fr.: équation de Hamilton One of a set of equations that describe the motion of a → dynamical system in terms of the → Hamiltonian function and the → generalized coordinates. For a → holonomic system with n degrees of freedom, Hamilton's equations are expressed by: q.i = ∂H/∂pi and p.i = - ∂H/∂qi, i = 1, ..., n. → Hamiltonian function; → equation. |
