INVARIANT IMBEDDING AND THE INTEGRATION OF HAMILTON'S EQUATIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4165344
Based on earlier work on the application of the principle of invariant imbedding to problems in transport theory, a countercurrent flow model that can be associated with any mechanical process described by Hamilton's equations of motion is described. The determination of certain reflection and transmission functions, which occur naturally in the transport process, is shown to lead to the solution of Hamilton's equations. Some examples are given, and some possible future applications are sketched. (auth)
