If to these we join the equations

dPH dPH

q`1 = ----, q`2 = ----, ..., (6)

dPp1 dPp2

which follow at once from Sec. 1 (23), since V does not involve p1, p2,

..., we obtain a complete system of differential equations _of the

first order_ for the determination of the motion.

The equation of energy is verified immediately by (5) and (6), since

these make

dH dPH dPH dPH dPH

-- = ---- p`1 + ---- p`2 + ... + ---- q`1 + ---- q`2 + ... = 0. (7)

dt dPp1 dPp2 dPq1 dPq2

The Hamiltonian transformation is extended to the case of varying

relations as follows. Instead of (4) we write
