<- [[:chaosbook]] ====== Chapter: Hamiltonian dynamics ====== (ChaosBook.org blog, chapter [[http://chaosbook.org/paper.shtml#newton|Hamiltonian dynamics]]) --- //[[predrag.cvitanovic@physics.gatech.edu|Predrag Cvitanovic]] 2009-03-0// :-\ I am bit puzzled by the introduction. The chapter is called Newtonian dynamics, but then goes straight to Hamiltonian flows (time-independent only). Even in the time-independent case, if one allows non-conservative forces in Newton's equation, energy is not conserved. We either need to specify this in the introduction, or we may want to call the chapter 'Hamiltonian Dynamics'. --- //[[gregor.tanner@nottingham.ac.uk|Gregor Tanner]] 2007-10-198// ===== Section: Stability of Hamiltonian flows ===== ~~DISCUSSION~~
