University Physics Notes: Classical Mechanics – The Relationships Between Different Generating Functions
There may be more than one generating function for the same transformation, so it seems logical that relationships exist between each generating functions. These do in fact exist.
Example: Find the relationship between
and![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence![]()
The set of relationships is given by
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Given any one generating function we can derive any other.
Example: If
find
and![]()
![]()
![]()
Hence![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
