If L is the regionIndecomposability is necessary and sufficient for existence of equilibrium state.H( ,
) = E
every invariant region, f(R) = R, has(R) =
(L) or
(R) = 0.
Metric indecomposability is equivalent to the non-existence of integrals of the motion except E.
Proof:
If the trajectory is decomposable:
Set g(,
) = 0 on one branch,
g(
,
) = 1 on the
other.
g(
,
) is a constant for
each of the branches. This proves that decomposability implies the existence of
an integral of motion.
If g(,
)
is a constant and take different values:
Choose c and use g(
,
)
c and
g(
,
) > c
to define a decomposition. This proves that the existence of an integral of
motion implies decomposability and completes the proof.
