The Zeta Function Method and the Harmonic Oscillator Propagator
We show how the pre-exponential factor of the Feynman propagator for the harmonic oscillator can be computed by the generalized ζ-function method. Besides, we establish a direct equivalence between this method and Schwinger’s propertime method. ⋆ e-mail: [email protected] † e-mail: [email protected] 1 In a recent paper that appeared in this journal [1] the harmonic oscillator propagator was e...
متن کاملPropagator for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator.
The propagator for a harmonic oscillator with general time-dependent mass and frequency matrices is constructed from the Van-Vleck/Morette formula. The explicit form of the classical action, and thus of the propagator, is found in terms of infinite series which are solutions to a set of differential equations. Those equations are found independently via the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and by comp...
متن کاملSpecial value formula for the spectral zeta function of the non-commutative harmonic oscillator
This series is absolutely convergent in the region Rs > 1, and defines a holomorphic function in s there. We call this function ζQ(s) the spectral zeta function for the non-commutative harmonic oscillator Q, which is introduced and studied by Ichinose and Wakayama [1]. The zeta function ζQ(s) is analytically continued to the whole complex plane as a single-valued meromorphic function which is h...
متن کاملPeriodic Solutions of the Duffing Harmonic Oscillator by He's Energy Balance Method
Duffing harmonic oscillator is a common model for nonlinear phenomena in science and engineering. This paper presents He´s Energy Balance Method (EBM) for solving nonlinear differential equations. Two strong nonlinear cases have been studied analytically. Analytical results of the EBM are compared with the solutions obtained by using He´s Frequency Amplitude Formulation (FAF) and numerical solu...
متن کاملNumerical Solution of the Controlled Harmonic Oscillator by Homotopy Perturbation Method
The controlled harmonic oscillator with retarded damping, is an important class of optimal control problems which has an important role in oscillating phenomena in nonlinear engineering systems. In this paper, to solve this problem, we presented an analytical method. This approach is based on the homotopy perturbation method. The solution procedure becomes easier, simpler and mor...
