Abstract

This paper proposes a direct, quantum‐mechanical definition for Γ (effective action) using a two‐step procedure for applying the variational principle to time‐dependent quantum problems.

## Abstract The time‐dependent variational principle due to Frenkel is derived from Hamilton's principle using a suitable general expression for the variational wave function. The connections with a recent comment of P. O. Löwdin and P. K. Mukherjee on the same subject are discussed.

The Gaussian time-dependent variational equations are used to explored the physics of (, 4 ) 3+1 field theory. We have investigated the static solutions and discussed the conditions of renormalization. Using these results and stability analysis we show that there are two viable non-trivial versions

We investigate the time-dependent variational equations in \(\phi^{4}\) field theory. We show that the standard method for renormalization applies to these time-dependent equations. The crucial point is to use the hamiltonian nature of the variational principle. In particular we have considered smal

We investigate the Dirac time-dependent variational method for a system of non-ideal Bosons interacting through an arbitrary two body potential. The method produces a set of non-linear time dependent equations for the variational parameters. In particular we have considered small oscillations about
