Hamilton–Jacobi equation

Target entity: Hamilton–Jacobi equation
Context triple: [Carl Gustav Jacob Jacobi, notableWork, Hamilton–Jacobi equation]

• A. Euler–Lagrange equation
  The Euler–Lagrange equation is a fundamental differential equation in the calculus of variations that provides the condition for a function to make a functional stationary, forming the basis of Lagrangian mechanics and many physical theories.
• B. Fokker–Planck equation
  The Fokker–Planck equation is a partial differential equation that describes the time evolution of the probability density function of a stochastic (random) process, such as Brownian motion.
• C. Feynman–Kac formula
  The Feynman–Kac formula is a fundamental result connecting solutions of certain partial differential equations with expectations over stochastic processes, forming a bridge between quantum mechanics, probability theory, and mathematical finance.
• D. Kolmogorov backward equation
  The Kolmogorov backward equation is a fundamental partial differential equation in stochastic processes that characterizes the time evolution of expected values of functionals of Markov processes, complementary to the Fokker–Planck (forward) equation.
• E. Carathéodory–Jacobi–Lie theorem
  The Carathéodory–Jacobi–Lie theorem is a fundamental result in symplectic geometry and Hamiltonian mechanics that provides canonical local coordinates adapted to a given set of commuting functions.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
