Action integral representation

For electronic transitions in electron-atom and heavy-particle collisions at high unpact energies, the major contribution to inelastic cross sections arises from scattering in the forward direction. The trajectories implicit in the action phases and set of coupled equations can be taken as rectilinear. The integral representation... 

In the light of the path-integral representation, the density matrix p Q-,Q-,p) may be semi-classically represented as oc exp[ —Si(Q )], where Si(Q ) is the Eucledian action on the -periodic trajectory that starts and ends at the point Q and visits the potential minimum Q = 0 for r = 0. The one-dimensional tunneling rate, in turn, is proportional to exp[ —S2(Q-)], where S2 is the action in the barrier for the closed straight trajectory which goes along the line with constant Q. The integral in (4.32) may be evaluated by the method of steepest descents, which leads to an optimum value of Q- = Q. This amounts to minimization of the total action Si -i- S2 over the positions of the bend point Q. ... 

Before pursuing the variation of the atomic action integral, it is helpful to first recover the statement of the principle of stationary action in the Schrodinger representation for the total system. If one sets the boundary of the region Cl at infinity in eqn (8.118) to obtain the variation of the total system action integral 2 [ ]> and restricts the variation so that ST vanishes at the time end-points and the end-points themselves are not varied, then only the terms multiplied by the variations in the first integral on the right-hand side remain. The Euler equation obtained by the requirement that this restricted... 

Quasiclassical approximation for the amplitude Ta,An results in the integral representation (3.2.5) involving the classical action increment. On the base of this representation and conventional expansion (Gel fand and Shilov 1959)... 

The action integral, equation (29), can also be evaluated by using a Fourier series representation of the coordinates and momenta. In the simplest version the normal coordinates Qj and their conjugate momenta Pj are represented by... 

The Boltzman Superposition Principle is one starting point for inclusion of structural relaxation losses. An equally valid starting point is to include in equation 9 time derivatives (first-order and higher) of stress and strain. It can be shown that this approach is equivalent to the above integral representation (10). Finally, modified stress-strain relations, to describe viscoelastic response, have also been formulated using fi-actional derivatives (11). 

A further simplification of the semiclassical mapping approach can be obtained by introducing electronic action-angle variables and performing the integration over the initial conditions of the electronic DoF within the stationary-phase approximation [120]. Thereby the number of trajectories required to obtain convergence is reduced significantly [120]. A related approach is discussed below within the spin-coherent state representation. 

With respect to the human-centered simulation approach, it is necessary to consider the two different representations of humans in the simulation environment. In guideline 3633, VDI distinguishes between person-integrated models (person as reactive action model) and person-oriented models (consideration of various additional traits possessed by person) [1020, 1072].
