Functional Analysis and Its Applications Aims and scope

Abstract

A method for approximation of the operator e−itH, where \(H = - \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{d^2}}}{{d{x^2}}} + V(x)\), in the strong operator topology is proposed. The approximating operators have the form of expectations of functionals of a certain random point field.
