Stability theorem for the Feynman integral via time continuation (Q1567141)

\textit{M. L. Lapidus} [Integral Equations Oper. Theory 8, 36-62 (1985; Zbl 0567.47015)] proved a stability theorem for the Feynman integral (FI) as a bounded linear operator on \(L_2(\mathbb{R}^d)\) with respect to potential functions belonging to the class \(K_d\) of Kato functions. This result is extended in the present paper. An existence theorem for the analytic (in time) operator-valued FI is established, and then a stability theorem for the FI with respect to signed measures is proved. Both, positive and negative variation of the measures are in the generalized Kato class \(GK_d\), introduced in the paper. \(GK_d\) is a substantial generalization of \(K_d\) in the sense that if \(f\in K_d\) then \(|f|\cdot m\in GK_d\), where \(m\) is the Lebesgue measure on \(\mathbb{R}^d\).
