Functional Integration - Approaches To Path Integrals

Approaches To Path Integrals

Functional integrals where the space of integration are paths (ν = 1) can be defined in many different ways. The definitions fall in two different classes: the constructions derived from Wiener's theory yield an integral based on a measure; whereas the constructions following Feynman's path integral do not. Even within these two broad divisions, the integrals are not identical, that is, they are defined for different classes of functions.

Famous quotes containing the words approaches and/or path:

    A politician is a statesman who approaches every question with an open mouth.
    Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    The path was a vague parting in the grass
    That led us to a weathered windowsill.
    We pressed our faces to the pane. “You see,” he said,
    “Everything’s as she left it when she died....”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
