The first two equations of the sequence (19.2.67) specify the trajectory of the
representative point

frame of the research made to establish a differential equation from which must result
the energetical levels of the electron of the atom of hydrogen; one takes

Starting from the Hamilton function (19.1.80'), one obtains the Hamilton–Jacobi
