Abstract
We extend a method due to Woodhouse (for the construction of constants of the motion of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation from the knowledge of a separable coordinate) to the case where the separable coordinate is null. We show that in distinction to total separation, null partial separation can lead to strictly rational (nonpolynomial) constants of the motion.
