A dynamical system on a symplectic manifold whose vector field is generated by a Hamiltonian. In canonical variables it obeys Hamilton's equations.
A Hamiltonian system is a mathematical formulation of classical mechanics that describes the evolution of a physical system in terms of its momenta and positions. It is based on Hamiltonian mechanics, which is an alternative to the more common Lagrangian mechanics.
