A Hamiltonian system on a -dimensional symplectic manifold is completely integrable when it has first integrals whose differentials are independent on the regular set and which are in involution:
The Arnold--Liouville theorem states that every compact connected regular common level set of these integrals is an -torus. In a neighbourhood of it there are action--angle coordinates in whichand Hamilton's equations becomeThus the motion on each invariant torus is linear in the angles.
