Abstract

Newtonian classical mechanics deals with real numbers that are non-observable. In this note a non-Newtonian functional mechanics based on probability distributions is considered. For an anharmonic oscillator the correspondence between its Newtonian trajectories and those averaged in the frame of functional mechanics approach is investigated. Dependence of the characteristic time of trajectories divergence on the dispersion of initial conditions is derived.
