What are Hamilton's equations with respect to a nonstandard symplectic form?

A Hamiltonian $H:M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ defines a vector field $X_H$ through the equation \begin{equation} \omega(X_H,\cdot)=dH. \end{equation} For $\omega=F(q,p)dq\wedge dp$ and substituting the …

Constants of motion from a Lagrangian

In your case, the answer is yes, it's that simple. The reason is that all the constants of motion you're dealing with are related to some translational symmetry. Energy corresponds to translations in …
