Abstract

We identify the topological and dynamical conditions for a Hamiltonian system to possess port-Hamiltonian reformulations with increasing resolution of structural detail that remains hidden in the Hamiltonian theory. We find that the principally attainable resolution grows exponentially with the number of factor manifolds into which the configuration space of a canonical Hamiltonian system decomposes and is tempered only by degeneracies of the original Hamiltonian.
