How many constants-of-motion for a given Hamiltonian?

[QUOTE="Undoubtedly0, post: 5489905, member: 319266"] Thanks Khashishi. I have assumed that functional independence extends to more than two functions in the analogous way that linear independence does. That is, if ##E## and ##L## are constants of the motion, ##\{E,L,E^L\}## is not a functionally independent set. Said differently, what is the least number of constants-of-motion that can be combined to form all other constants of motion? In my case, is this four? Is there a general theorem? [/QUOTE]
