Integrable function - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (259 words)
In mathematics, an integrable function is a function whose integral exists.
Unless specifically stated, the integral in question is usually the Lebesgue integral.
This is especially useful in quantum mechanics as wave functions must be square integrable over all space if a physically possible solution is to be obtained from the theory.
integrable system: Information from Answers.com (413 words)
In mathematics and physics, an integrable system refers to a system of partial differential equations that may be integrated to obtain the solutions to the equations.
A completely integrable system is a system that has n degrees of freedom, n constants of motion, and whose constants of motion are in involution: that is, the Poisson bracket between each pair of constants of motion vanishes.
The actions are the constants of motion, and all motion occurs on the surface of a torus, known as the invariant torus.
