Suppose that we are working in \(\RR^{2n}=(q_1, \ldots , q_n,p_1, \ldots p_n) \), equipped with the standard symplectic form \(\omega= \sum_{i=1}^n dp_i \wedge dq_i\).
We can compute the Hamiltonian vector field for \(H: \RR^{2n}\to \RR\), in local coordinates as \[V_H=\sum_{k=1}^n \left(a_k \partial_{q_k}+b_k \partial_{p_k}\right)\] where the functions \(a_k\) and \(b_k\) are given by the formulas
\begin{align*}
\frac{\partial p_k}{\partial H}=-b_k & & \frac{\partial q_k}{\partial H}=a_k.
\end{align*}
