Summary
We
study the uniqueness questions for the inverse problem of
determining hamiltonian H(x,p)= gij (x) pi
pj and a phase function w(x,t) from the
Hamilton-Jacobi equation and the initial-terminal conditions w(x,
t0 ), w(x, t1). Here the unknown functions
gij(x) compose a matrix inverse to that of the
metric tensor. We obtain uniqueness theorems for special classes of
initial-terminal conditions in the cases n =1, n=2 and
in the case of a scalar n×n matrix gij(x).
