classical mechanics - Idea of integrable systems


I do not quite understand the idea of an integrable dynamical system. Does it mean that the EOMs are analytically and exactly solvable? What are the necessary and sufficient conditions such that a system is integrable?



Answer



There has been extensive discussion on this here. Infact the question was posed by Gil Kalai, a well known mathematician. I hope it helps.

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
