Abstract

We investigate the explicit construction of a canonical transformation of the time variable and the Hamiltonian whereby a given completely integrable system is mapped into another integrable system. The change of time induces a transformation of the equations of motion and of their solutions, the integrals of motion, the methods of separation of variables, the Lax matrices, and the correspondingr-matrices. For several specific families of integrable systems (Toda chains, Holt systems, and Stäckel-type systems), we construct canonical transformations of time in the extended phase space that preserve the integrability property.
