8.5 Liouville’s Theorem
8.5.1 Hamilton’s Equations Energty-conserving systems
8.5.2. Liouville’s Theorem of Volume Conservation For hamiltonian, energy-conserving systems, the volume occupied by a collection of phase space points remains constant in time. For a dissipative system there is an overall contraction of the volume in phase space as the system evolves toward its attractor.
