An elegant solution of the n‐body Toda problem

Arlen Anderson
1996 Journal of Mathematical Physics  
The solution of the classical open-chain n-body Toda problem is derived from an ansatz and is found to have a highly symmetric form. The proof requires an unusual identity involving Vandermonde determinants. The explicit transformation to action-angle variables is exhibited.
