Rotation
p is periodic function of q
configuration of the system is the same under q q + q0 :
p(t + T ) = p(t); q(t + T ) = q(t) + q0

qi
so if we assume that the orbit equation of the projection of the system point on the
(qi , pi ) plane is periodic (ie libration or rotation), then we can define action variables
as for the 1-dof case. Hence, as previously
i =
2
.

Note that this does not imply that the system motion is periodic unless the frequencies are commensurate. (ie ratio of any two frequencies is a rational number, cf
closed Lissajous figures and open Lissajous figures.)

periodic function of .

Note that qj is not a periodic function of time unless j s are commensurate. For if
~
qi (t + T ) = qi (t) then eik~T = 1 or need
~.
~ T = 2 N
This can be solved if the ~ s are commensurate, then

Rotation
Under one complete cycle (t t + 2/j of the pair (qj , pj )) qj is increased by its
period q0j , j is increased by 2 = qj (j /2)q0j returns to its initial value and
so is periodic in ~. So as before we have
