In summary, the conversation discusses a problem involving proving a mathematical equation using a Hamiltonian and canonical transformation. The participants have tried solving it using Hamiltonian equations and working out partial derivatives, but have not been successful. The suggestion of using canonical transformation is given as a potential solution.

Have you got any clues how to prove q2=Acos(q2)+Bsin(q2)+C using hamiltonian H =(1/2)*(p12 q14 + p22 q22 - 2aq1) , where a,A,B,C=const.
I've tried to solve hamiltonian eqations what let me to equations which I can't solved.
How you got any ideas solving this problem?

You could try some canonical transformation of the variables.
This is just a tip, I didnt do any calculations.. :D
 
  • #3
It might be good idea, but do you have any other clues how to solve it without canonical transformation?
 
  • #4
Have you tried working out any partial derivatives of your hamiltonian?

Yes, I tried prove it using hamiltonian equations (which are partial derivatives of hamiltonian), but always it let me to equations which I can't solve. If the quickes way to prove it is canonical transformation maby someone can tell me how to prove this problem using it.
 

1. What is a Hamiltonian Problem?

A Hamiltonian Problem is a mathematical problem that involves finding the equations of motion for a physical system. It is named after the physicist and mathematician William Rowan Hamilton, who first developed the concept.
