Geodesics as Hamiltonian flows
In mathematics, the geodesic equations are second-order non-linear differential equations, and are commonly presented in the form of Euler-Lagrange equations of motion. However, they can also be presented as a set of coupled first-order equations, in the form of Hamilton's equations.
