Completely integrable one-dimensional classical and relativistic time-dependent hamiltonians

Abstract:
In this paper, we look for first integrals
$I(q;p;t)$ of time-dependent one-dimensional Hamiltonians
$H(q;p;t)$. We first present a formalism based on the use of canonical transformations, and it is seen that
$I(q;p;t)$ can always be written in terms of two variables
$I=P(u;v)$, whereu andv are functions of
$q$,
$p$ andt, without loss of generality. Moreover, it is shown that any Hamiltonian with first integral
$I(q;p;t)$ can be made autonomous in the space
$(u,v,T)$, where
$T$ is a new time. On the other hand, the cases of a particle moving classically and relativistically in a time-dependent potential
$V(q;t)$ are studied. In both cases, completely integrable potentials, together with the corresponding first integrals, are derived.
