A Hamiltonian system is a dynamical system governed by Hamilton's equations.
Description
In physics, this dynamical system describes the evolution of a physical system such as a planetary system or an electron in an electromagnetic field.
These systems can be studied in both Hamiltonian mechanics and dynamical systems theory.
