Abstract:
The Hamiltonian formulation of heat conduction is derived using the integral transform method approach, in
comparison with the conventional Hamiltonian formulation in the physical space of the variables temperature and heat
flux. An analogy with the relativistic motion of a particle is briefly discussed.
