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. LΓΆwdin and P. K. Mukherjee on the same subject are discussed.

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

## The quanta1 time evolution of a one-dimensional Gaussian wave packet according to the time-dependent variational principle (TDVP) is shown to be formally equivalent to the classical motion of a particle in a two-dimensional potential. The formal and practical advantages of the TDVP approach are
