= Liouville's equation
{wiki=Liouville's_equation}
Liouville's equation is a fundamental equation in Hamiltonian mechanics that describes the evolution of the distribution function of a dynamical system in phase space. It is often used in statistical mechanics and classical mechanics. The equation can be written as: \\\[ \\frac\{\\partial f\}\{\\partial t\} + \\\{f, H\\\} = 0 \\\] where: - \\( f \\) is the phase space distribution function, representing the density of system states in phase space.
