Abstract

In this work we present a method for obtaining the true degrees of freedom for the singular systems using the canonical transformations in the Hamilton-Jacobi formalism. The validity of our proposal has been tested by two examples of singular Lagrangians and the results are in agreement with those obtained by other methods.
