Hamiltonian Flow is a Canonical Transformation | Strange Non-Intuitive Momenta | Lecture 8

Lecture 8, course on Hamiltonian and nonlinear dynamics. Symplecticness of vector field and flow map for Hamilton's canonical equations of motion. Infinitesimally symplectic matrix. Example systems, showing that their flow map satisfies the condition of a canonical transformation. Strange momentum definitions, that is, generalized momentum vs mechanical momentum. Examples: charged particle in electromagnetic fields, motion viewed in a rotating frame: circular restricted 3-body problem; and a particle in linear restoring force and nonlinear term.

Advanced Dynamics - Hamiltonian Systems and Nonlinear Dynamics
https://is.gd/AdvancedDynamics

This course gives the student advanced theoretical and semi-analytical tools for analysis of dynamical systems, particularly mechanical systems (e.g., particles, rigid bodies, continuum systems). We discuss methods for writing equations of motion and the mathematical structure they represent at a more sophisticated level than previous engineering dynamics courses. We consider the sets of possible motion of mechanical systems (trajectories in phase space), which leads to topics of Hamiltonian systems (canonical and non-canonical), nonlinear dynamics, periodic & quasi-periodic orbits, driven nonlinear oscillators, resonance, stability / instability, invariant manifolds, energy surfaces, chaos, Poisson brackets, basins of attraction, etc.

► This course builds on prior knowledge of Lagrangian systems, which have their own lecture series, 'Analytical Dynamics'
