Stability properties for Feynman's operational calculus in the combined continuous/discrete setting (Q2572928): Difference between revisions

The paper deals with some stability theorems for the Feynman operational calculus in the context of time-ordering measures. This means that each member of a finite family of noncommuting operators \((A_j)\) is associated with a Borel probability measure \(\lambda_j\), which is called a time-ordering measure for \(A_j\). Taking sequences of measures \({(\lambda_{jk})}_k\) weakly convergent to \(\lambda_j\), the tuple \((\lambda_{jk})\) determines a family of functional calculi, via a disentangling map, for each fixed \(k\). The stability problem for the operational calculus is considered in terms of the existence of a limit of this family of functional calculi. In this paper, the time-ordering measures are allowed to have both continuous and discrete parts. In particular, some special cases of this blended approach are investigated.
