Abstract:

We adapt ideas coming from Quantum Mechanics to develop a non-commutative strategy for the analysis of some systems of ordinary differential equations. We show that the solution of such a system can be described by an unbounded, self-adjoint and densely defined operator H which we call, in analogy with Quantum Mechanics, the Hamiltonian of the system.

We discuss the role of H in the analysis of the integrals of motion of the system. Finally, we apply this approach to several examples.

Keywords: ordinary differential equations; quantum evolution
