Abstract
The authors extend an idea due to Woodhouse (1975) to give a coordinate-free characterisation of the orthogonal separation of one coordinate for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold, in terms of an involutive family of Killing tensors. The coordinates can be computed from the Killing tensors.
