AbstractThe measurement problem and the absence of macroscopic superposition are two foundational problems of quantum mechanics today. One possible solution is to consider the Ghirardi–Rimini–Weber (GRW) model of spontaneous localisation. Here, we describe how spontaneous localisation modifies the path integral formulation of density matrix evolution in quantum mechanics. We provide two new pedagogical derivations of the GRW propagator. We then show how the von Neumann equation and the Liouville equation for the density matrix arise in the quantum and classical limit, respectively, from the GRW path integral.

Path Integral Method

The path-integral method of calculating the Casimir energy between two parallel conducting plates is developed within the framework of supersymmetric quantum electrodynamics at vanishing temperature as well as at finite temperature. The choice of the suitable boundary condition for the photino on the plates is argued and the physically acceptable condition is adopted which eventually breaks the supersymmetry. The photino mass term is introduced in the Lagrangian and the photino mass dependence of the Casimir energy and pressure is fully investigated.

Theoretical Results

The BRST–antiBRST invariant path integral formulation of classical mechanics of Gozzi et al. is generalized to pseudomechanics. Projections to physical propagators by BRST–antiBRST invariant boundary conditions are considered. The formulation is also viewed from recent group theoretical results within BRST–antiBRST invariant theories. A natural bracket expressed in terms of BRST and antiBRST charges in the extended formulation is shown to be equal to the Poisson bracket. Several remarks on the operator formulation are made.

Liouville Operators

In this paper, we discuss the inverse problem for Sturm- Liouville operators with boundary conditions having fractional linear function of spectral parameter on the finite interval $[0, 1].$ Using Weyl m-function techniques, we establish a uniqueness theorem. i.e., If q(x) is prescribed on $[0,\frac{1}{2}+\alpha]$ for some $\alpha\in [0,1),$ then the potential $q(x)$ on the interval $[0, 1]$ and fractional linear function $\frac{a_2\lambda+b_2}{c_2\lambda+d_2}$  of the boundary condition are uniquely determined by a subset $S\subset \sigma (L)$ and fractional linear function $\frac{a_1\lambda+b_1}{c_1\lambda+d_1}$ of the boundary condition.

Acceleration Term

An action having an acceleration term in addition to the usual velocity term is analyzed. The quantum mechanical system is directly defined for Euclidean time using the path integral. The Euclidean Hamiltonian is shown to yield the acceleration Lagrangian and the path integral with the correct boundary conditions. Due to the acceleration term, the state space depends on both position and velocity — and hence the Euclidean Hamiltonian depends on two degrees of freedom. The Hamiltonian for the acceleration system is non-Hermitian and can be mapped to a Hermitian Hamiltonian using a similarity transformation; the matrix elements of the similarity transformation are explicitly evaluated.

Sturm Liouville

The Sturm-Liouville problem with various types of two-point boundary conditions is considered in this paper. In the first part of the paper, we investigate the Sturm-Liouville problem in three cases of nonlocal two-point boundary conditions. We prove general properties of the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for such a problem in the complex case. In the second part, we investigate the case of real eigenvalues. It is analyzed how the spectrum of these problems depends on the boundary condition parameters. Qualitative behavior of all eigenvalues subject to the nonlocal boundary condition parameters is described.

The paper deals with methods of equivalence of boundary conditions in finite element models that are based on finite element model updating technique. The proposed methods are based on the determination of the stiffness parameters in the section plate or region, where the boundary condition or the removed part of the model is replaced by the bushing connector. Two methods for determining its elastic properties are described. In the first case, the stiffness coefficients are determined by a series of static finite element analyses that are used to obtain the response of the removed part to the six basic types of loads. The second method is a combination of experimental and numerical approaches. The natural frequencies obtained by the measurement are used in finite element (FE) optimization, in which the response of the model is tuned by changing the stiffness coefficients of the bushing. Both methods provide a good estimate of the stiffness at the region where the model is replaced by an equivalent boundary condition. This increases the accuracy of the numerical model and also saves computational time and capacity due to element reduction.
