Solutions to the Schrödinger, heat and stochastic Schrödinger equation with rather general potentials are represented, both in x- and p-representations, as integrals over the path space with respect to σ-finite measures. In the case of x-representation, the corresponding measure is concentrated on the Cameron–Martin Hilbert space of curves with L2-integrable derivatives. The case of the Schrödinger equation is treated by means of a regularization based on the introduction of either complex times or continuous non-demolition observations.

In 1979 B. Menski suggested a formula for the linear propagator of a quantum system with continuously observed position in terms of a heuristic Feynman path integral. In 1989 the aposterior linear stochastic Schrödinger equation was derived by V. P. Belavkin describing the evolution of a quantum system under continuous (nondemolition) measurement. In the present paper, these two approaches to the description of continuous quantum measurement are brought together from the point of view of physics as well as mathematics. A self-contained deductions of both Menski's formula and the Belavkin equation is given, and the new insights in the problem provided by the local (stochastic equation) approach to the problem are described. Furthermore, a mathematically well-defined representations of the solution of the aposterior Schrödinger equation in terms of the path integral is constructed and shown to be heuristically equivalent to the Menski propagator.

In this paper, we continue to solve as accurately as possible singular eigenvalues problems attached to the Schrödinger equation. We use the conventional ChC and SiC as well as Chebfun. In order to quantify the accuracy of our outcomes, we use the drift with respect to some parameters, i.e., the order of approximation N, the length of integration interval X, or a small parameter ε, of a set of eigenvalues of interest. The deficiency of orthogonality of eigenvectors, which approximate eigenfunctions, is also an indication of the accuracy of the computations. The drift of eigenvalues provides an error estimation and, from that, one can achieve an error control. In both situations, conventional spectral collocation or Chebfun, the computing codes are simple and very efficient. An example for each such code is displayed so that it can be used. An extension to a 2D problem is also considered.

We prove asymptotic stability of trapped solitons in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a potential in dimension 1 and for even potential and even initial conditions.
