Quadratic Hamiltonians

The following table considers quadratic Hamiltonians to have a 4th degree first integral. Equations of motion are formulated using a Poisson bracket that is related to the Lie algebra e(3). Three variations are discussed in:
T. Wolf, O.V. Efimovskaya: Classification of integrable quadratic Hamiltonians on e(3), Regular and Chaotic Dynamics, 8, no 2 (2003), p 155-162, (or the preprint nlin.SI/0302001).

Computations reported in the table were performed with the computer algebra system REDUCE running with 120 MB under Linux on a 1.7 GHz Pentium 4 PC.
