Coordinate systems adapted to constants of motion
We present some examples of mechanical systems such that given n constants of motion in involution (where n is the number of degrees of freedom), we can identify a coordinate system in which the Hamilton-Jacobi equation is separable (or R-separable), with the separation constants being the values of the given constants of motion. Analogous results for the Schrödinger equation are also given.
