= Liouville's theorem (Hamiltonian)
{wiki=Liouville's_theorem_(Hamiltonian)}
Liouville's theorem in the context of Hamiltonian mechanics is a fundamental result concerning the conservation of phase space volume in a dynamical system. The theorem states that the flow of a Hamiltonian system preserves the volume in phase space. More formally, consider a Hamiltonian system described by \\( (q, p) \\), where \\( q \\) represents the generalized coordinates and \\( p \\) represents the generalized momenta.
