The Hamilton–Jacobi equation of motion is solved in action variables for non-Hermitian systems. Both real and complex semiclassical eigenvalues are obtained that make action variables into integers. This study shows, regardless of the existence of periodic or quasi-periodic classical trajectories, Hamilton–Jacobi methods can be applied to quantize some complex non-Hermitian systems with a good accuracy.

The self-adjoint form of the classical equation of motion of the harmonic oscillator is used to derive a Hamiltonian-like equation and the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics. A phase variable ϕ(t) instead of time t is used as an independent variable. It is shown that the Hamilton–Jacobi solution in this case is identical with the solution obtained from the Schrödinger equation without the need to introduce the idea of hidden variables or quantum potential.

The equation of motion of a charged particle in a combined gravitational and electromagnetic field is cast in the classical Hamilton-Jacobi form and then applied to the special case of a Schwarzschild metric, leading to the well established equation of planetary motion.

AbstractWe present a solution obeying classical equation of motion in the low energy limit of heterotic string theory. The solution represents a rotating mass with electric charge and gravitomagnetic monopole moment. The corresponding conserved charges are discussed, and the separability of Hamilton–Jacobi equation for a test body in the spacetime is also investigated. Some numerical results related to the circular motions on equatorial plane are presented, but there is none that supports the existence of such geodesics.

The immobility of the center of mass in spaces of constant curvature is postulated based on its definition obtained in [1]. The system of two particles which interact through a potential depending only on the distance between particles on a three-dimensional sphere is considered. The Hamilton-Jacobi equation is formulated and its solutions and trajectory equations are found. It was established that the reduced mass of the system depends on the relative distance.

Hamilton’s genius was to understand what were the true variables of mechanics (the “p − q,” conjugate coordinates, or canonical variables), and this led to Hamilton’s Mechanics which could obtain qualitative answers to a wider ranger of problems than Lagrangian Mechanics. It is explained how Hamilton’s canonical equations arise, why the Hamiltonian is the “central conception of all modern theory” (quote of Schrödinger’s), what the “p − q” variables are, and what phase space is. It is also explained how the famous conservation theorems arise (for energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum), and the connection with symmetry. The Hamilton-Jacobi Equation is derived using infinitesimal canonical transformations (ICTs), and predicts wavefronts of “common action” spreading out in (configuration) space. An analogy can be made with geometrical optics and Huygen’s Principle for the spreading out of light waves. It is shown how Hamilton’s Mechanics can lead into quantum mechanics.

A classification of the behaviour of the solutions f(·, a) to the ordinary differential equation (|f′|p-2f′)′ + f - |f′|p-1 = 0 in (0,∞) with initial condition f(0, a) = a and f′(0, a) = 0 is provided, according to the value of the parameter a > 0 when the exponent p takes values in (1, 2). There is a threshold value a* that separates different behaviours of f(·, a): if a > a*, then f(·, a) vanishes at least once in (0,∞) and takes negative values, while f(·, a) is positive in (0,∞) and decays algebraically to zero as r→∞ if a ∊ (0, a*). At the threshold value, f(·, a*) is also positive in (0,∞) but decays exponentially fast to zero as r→∞. The proof of these results relies on a transformation to a first-order ordinary differential equation and a monotonicity property with respect to a > 0. This classification is one step in the description of the dynamics near the extinction time of a diffusive Hamilton–Jacobi equation with critical gradient absorption and fast diffusion.
