In canonical coordinates, Hamilton's equations are
A function is an integral of motion if it is constant along every Hamiltonian flow, equivalently
for a time-independent . The system is an integrable Hamiltonian system when it has first integrals whose differentials are linearly independent almost everywhere and which are in mutual Poisson involution: for all .
