Conservation of surface and volume in phase space.

CONT

The word "area" is generalized in the usual way to the measure of a two-dimensional space. The element of a given area will continue to occupy a surface of the same measure during evolution. This property of Hamiltonian systems is much more restrictive than simple conservation of energy or reversibility of equations of motion. It entails the conservation of volume in phase space.

OBS

See conservative vs. dissipation system.
