Pronunciation: ipa: /ˌkæmɪlˈtəʊ.ni.ən/
ipa: /ˌkæmɪlˈtoʊ.ni.ən/
rhymes: -əʊniən
Forms: form: Kamiltonians
Etymology: Blend of K + Hamiltonian; apparently popularised by a jocular comment in the textbook Classical Mechanics by Herbert Goldstein (first published 1950).
"It has been remarked in a jocular vein that if H stands for the Hamiltonian, K must stand for the Kamiltonian! Of course K is every bit as much a Hamiltonian as H, but the designation is occasionally a convenient substitute for the longer term "transformed Hamiltonian""
Senses: examples: text: […]gives the transformed Hamiltonian (the Kamiltonian)[…]. However, it is clear that (2.108) are not the canonical equations corresponding to the Kamiltonian (2.111).
