Consider the Poisson bracket structure on R3 given by
{x,y}=z,{y,z}=x,{z,x}=y
and show that {f,ρ2}=0, where ρ2=x2+y2+z2 and f:R3→R is any polynomial function on R3.
Let H=(Ax2+By2+Cz2)/2, where A,B,C are positive constants. Find the explicit form of Hamilton's equations
r˙={r,H}, where r=(x,y,z)
Find a condition on A,B,C such that the oscillation described by
x=1+α(t),y=β(t),z=γ(t)
is linearly unstable, where α(t),β(t),γ(t) are small.
