That is, there is a canonical transformation connecting two arbitrary Hamiltonian systems with the same number of degrees of freedom. This result in particular implies that locally all the Hamiltonian systems are equivalent to that of a free particle. We illustrate our result with two particular examples; first we show that the one-dimensional free particle is locally equivalent to the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator and second that the two-dimensional free particle is locally equivalent to the two-dimensional Kepler problem. Keywords: Hamiltonian System; Canonical Transformation 1. Introduction a set, in general coupled, of second-order ordinary dif- ferential equations for the generalized coordinates. The complexity in solving this system of equations is due to two
