Definition E.3 (Local polar/normal coordinates).
2 , we introduce local polar/normal coordinates by ( E.118 ), where t is
the parameter of the Maupertuis gauged geodesic and α is the azimuth of the geodesic passing

E-36 Maupertuis Gauged Geodesics (Lie Series, Hamilton Portrait)
2 A,B and the geodesic “Maupertuis gauged” in their Hamilton form are analytic. Accord-
ingly, we can solve ( E.113 ) by the Taylor expansion ( E.119 ).

By means of ( E.113 )and( E.118 ), we here are able to take
advantage of the Lie recurrence (“Lie series”) which is sum-
marized in the following Box E.7 in order to formulate
the solution of the initial value problem (“erste geodatische
Hauptaufgabe”). By standard series inversion of the homo-
geneous polynomial q μ
q 0 , we have finally solved the
boundary value problem (“zweite geodatische Hauptauf-
gabe”) in terms of local polar/normal coordinates.
