Hamiltonian Liouville equation

ID: hamiltonian-liouville-equation

Transport a phase-space density along Hamilton's equations. The Hamiltonian vector field is and the equation is . Its zero divergence gives volume-preserving transport. For , the density is constant along characteristics; a source is integrated by the Duhamel formula for Hamiltonian transport. This is distinct from the elliptic Liouville equation.
