As indicated, the rate of change of the phase space volume is to be calculated along a particle trajectory
in phase space. For small t along this trajectory, the particle orbit is simply given by

These equations define a simple transformation of variables between the v r

Accordingly, a well-known mathematical result is that the volume elements are related by the J acobian
