Abstract
It is well known that basic ideas and concepts of modern theory of dynamical systems come from the classical theory of ordinary differential equations. Indeed, for a given autonomous system of first-order ordinary differential equations in a finite-dimensional phase space (e.g., in Rn), the famous Liouville theorem establishes necessary and sufficient conditions, under which the corresponding phase flow preserves the Lebesgue measure (see, for instance, [196] and Exercise 2 of Chapter 3). Those conditions are trivially fulfilled for a Hamiltonian system in the same phase space. Consequently, we obtain a natural example of a dynamical system which is systematically used in studies of various physical (primarily, evolutional) processes.
