=== Symplectic condition === Applying transformation of co-ordinates formula for <math> \nabla_\eta H = M^T \nabla_\varepsilon H </math>, in Hamiltonian's equations gives: <math display="block">\dot{\eta}=J\nabla_\eta H =J ( M^T \nabla_\varepsilon H) </math> Similarly for <math display="inline">\dot{\varepsilon} </math>: <math display="block">\dot{\varepsilon}=M\dot{\eta} + \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial t} =M J M^T \nabla_\varepsilon H + \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial t} </math> or: <math display="block">\dot{\varepsilon}=J \nabla_\varepsilon K = J \nabla_\varepsilon H + J \nabla_\varepsilon \left( \frac{\partial G}{\partial t}\right) </math> Where the last terms of each equation cancel due to <math display="inline">J \left(\nabla_\varepsilon \frac{\partial G}{\partial t} \right) = \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial t} </math> condition from canonical transformations. Hence leaving the symplectic relation: <math display="inline">M J M^T = J </math> which is also equivalent with the condition <math display="inline">M^T J M = J </math>. It follows from the above two equations that the symplectic condition implies the equation <math display="inline">J \left(\nabla_\varepsilon \frac{\partial G}{\partial t} \right) = \frac{\partial \varepsilon}{\partial t} </math>, from which the indirect conditions can be recovered. Thus, symplectic conditions and indirect conditions can be said to be equivalent in the context of using generating functions.
