Action integral operator

By using this result in eqn (8.85), an end-point variation arising from the generalized variation of the action integral operator at a time , a quantity denoted by the operator F(t), is given by...

The Lagrangian L and the action integral S are both functions in the sense that they are prescriptions of how to assign numbers to elements of their respective domains. But while L operates on numbers (the values of g, q and t at any given time t), the function S operates on functions, i.e. on test paths q t). The function 5[g] is thus often referred to as a functional. 

The first step in applying the principle of stationary action is to generalize the variation of the action integral to include a variation of the time end-points and to retain the variations at the end-points in order to define the generator F t). We shall express the Lagrangian operator in terms of the complete set of... 

The variation of the Lagrangian ojjerator is formally identical to the variation of the classical action integral as developed in eqns (8.45)-(8.48). We may take over the final result in eqn (8.48) completely in its corresponding operator form, retaining in this case the terms involving Sq at the time endpoints as these variations are no longer required to vanish. The addition of this result to the end-point variations in eqn (8.82) yields, for the general... 

Comparison of this result with the operator statement of stationary action given in eqn (8.79) shows that the quantity multiplied by the arbitrary variations in q must vanish as it does in the restricted variation of the action integral, thereby yielding the equation of motion... 

Proceeding as before in the field-free case, the variations in the state function are replaced by operators which act as generators of infinitesimal unitary transformations. That is, 5 P = ( — lh)F where F is an infinitesimal Hermitian operator (F = eG). Introducing the notion of generators into the result for the variation of the atomic action integral yields... 

Since even and odd operators obey the same multiplication rules as natural numbers, i.e., even times odd is odd, etc., this is obviously an odd and antihermitean operator of second order in the external potential, which is linear in af /af. W2 is thus a second-order integral operator in momentum space, whose action on a spinor 0 is defined by... 

The operators fk, defined by Eq. (25) and corresponding to the action integrals of the bath modes, are the Hamiltonian operators of one-dimensional harmonic oscillators with unit frequency. Therefore, the wave function representing the eigenstates in Eq. (31b) are given by...

Process-variable feedback for the controller is achieved by one of two methods. The process variable can (I) be measured and transmitted to the controller by using a separate measurement transmitter with a 0.2-I.0-bar (3-15-psi pneumatic output, or (2) be sensed directly by the controller, which contains the measurement sensor within its enclosure. Controllers with integral sensing elements are available that sense pressure, differential pressure, temperature, and level. Some controller designs have the set point adjustment knob in the controller, making set point adjustment a local and manual operation. Other types receive a set point from a remotely located pneumatic source, such as a manual air set regulator or another controller, to achieve set point adjustment. There are versions of the pneumatic controller that support the useful one-, two-, and three-mode combinations of proportional, integral, and derivative actions. Other options include auto/manual transfer stations, antireset windup circuitry, on/off control, and process-variable and set point indicators.
