Abstract
The Hamilton equations for Hamiltonian systems of the type discussed, for example, by Gutzwiller (Gutzwiller 1990) and Curtiss and Miller (Curtiss and Miller 1985), with Hamiltonian of the form.

Notes
- 1.
Such a system may be thought of as an idealized model for a real unstable physical system coupled, for example, to the vacuum fluctuations associated with a real physical system. Geodesic instability is associated with fluctuations of orbit due to effects not included in such a model. The theory presented here takes such fluctuations into account in a systematic way.
