Abstract

Some aspects of a geometrical version of the Cauchy problem for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation are studied in the general framework of symplectic mechanics. The knowledge of a global complete solution allows us to solve explicitly generalized Cauchy problems by global solutions, here represented by Morse families generating Lagrangian manifolds. This leads in a natural way to a general version of Huygens' principle.
