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.
