We derive a semiclassical time evolution kernel and a trace formula for the Dirac equation. The classical trajectories that enter the expressions are determined by the dynamics of relativistic point particles. We carefully investigate the transport of the spin degrees of freedom along the trajectori

โฆ Synopsis
Rcccivcd 2 Dcccmbcr 1974 A scmiclossical trajectory approach has been used rd study ?he cis-irans isomerization fram the triplet state of butene-2. It is found that use of the full conformational space for the trajectory calculation permits one to demonstrate that a simplified treatment is applicable;

The nominal trajectory corresponding to neighboring feedback control is more likely than that corresponding to open-loop control. However, the shape of regions where the likelihood ratio is greater than unity reveals possible disadvantages of feedback. Summary--Comparative trajectory sensitivity is
A time domain approach employing the semiclassical approximation to the quantum mechanical propagator, as applied to Gaussian wavepackets, is used to study the barrier penetration problem. We have observed that qualitative agrepment with the exact quantum calculations for the correlation function an
Abstrnct--A robot trajectory planning problem is considered. Using smooth interpolating cubic splines as joint space trajectories, the path is parameterized in terms of time intervals between knots. A minimum time optimization problem is formulated under maximum torque and velocity constraints, and
Earlier work, within the context of transition state theory, has shown that tunneling through the saddle point region of a potential energy surface can be characterized by locally conserved action variables associated with the saddle point (transition state). The present Letter shows how this idea
