Liouville integrability

Liouville integrability refers to a special property of certain complex systems described by multiple interacting variables, such as in physics and mathematics. It states that if a system has as many conserved quantities (like energy or momentum) that are independent and mutually compatible, then the system's behavior can be fully understood and solved exactly over time. Basically, these conserved quantities provide enough "constants" to predict the system’s future exactly, enabling a complete solution. This concept helps identify systems that are highly structured and solvable, offering deep insights into their evolution.
