By standard series inversion of the homogeneous two-dimensional polynomial ( 20.59 ), we have
solved the boundary value problem for given values

and

stitute the initial value problem . In contrast, in the bound-

of {L A − L B ,B A − B B } as power series is given, while

by ( 20.62 ).

The Hamilton equations of a geodesic as a system of four first order ordinary differential equations
can be written as ( 20.63 )fora Hamilton function ( 20.64 ) which is produced by the Legendre
transformation of the Lagrange function 2
