Continuous eigenvalues

The discreteness in this new theory refers to the discrete nature of all measurements. Each measurement fixes a particle s position Xn and time Both and tn are allowed to take on any value in the spectrum of continuous eigenvalues of the operators (xn)op and (tn)op. Notice also that in this discrete theory there is no Hamiltonian and no Lagrangian only Action. 

When the number m increases, and the set

complex eigenvalues Ik are approximations both to the continuous eigenvalues E of H in the complex plane as well as to the true resonances. The criterion for the distinction between these two types has been discussed in connection with Eq. (2.18). 

In a similar way, one can plot the eigenvalues of the matrix H = ri 2T + ri 1 for any choice of basis 0 as functions of the parameter t] = pelx. Since the eigenvalues / are in general going to be complex, it is evidently necessary to carefully distinguish between the approximations to real persistent eigenvalues, to continuous eigenvalues in the complex plane, and to true physical resonances. 

This is not the full Hilbert space of the Hamiltonian which would also include eigenfunctions corresponding to the continuous eigenvalues. 

Such an amplitude is often called a matrix element, even if the states are eigenstates of observables with continuous eigenvalues. 

Steady state continuation, eigenvalues conputations and the estimation of the first iterates of Unit and Hopf bifurcation points. 

Our usage of point and continuous spectrum is in accord with formal definitions. For a lucid discussion see B. Friedman, Principles and Techniques of Applied Mathematics. Wiley, New York, 1956. Qualitatively, point eigenvalues are associated with L2 eigenfunctions, whereas continuous eigenvalues are associated with improper eigenfunctions. 

This boundary condition will be automatically fulfilled for all eigenfunctions associated with discrete or continuous eigenvalues to the Hamiltonian, except for those eigenfunctions P which accidentally lack projections in the reference space and then correspond to "lost eigenvalues". Since the matrix C = > has em inverse, it may now... 

The electronic Hamiltonian and the comesponding eigenfunctions and eigenvalues are independent of the orientation of the nuclear body-fixed frame with respect to the space-fixed one, and hence depend only on m. The index i in Eq. (9) can span both discrete and continuous values. The q ) form... 

In the perturbed case, assume now a small change in 7, which induces a small intersection of Bi and B2. Let B = Bi U B2 remain to be invariant. Then, we have a unique eigenmeasure /2 with eigenvalue Ai = 1 and another eigenvector P associated with A2 1. Under some continuity assumption A2 should be close to 1 and thus we have f (B) = 0. In view of (6), continuity for 7 = 7o then requires a = 1/2. Therefore (5) implies that... 

The boundary conditions, not the Sehrodinger equation, determine whether the eigenvalues will be discrete or continuous... 

Equation (3.73) may also be obtained from (3.42). The contribution of Xi to the ratio of determinants in (3.70) is equal to. Apart from the bound states, there is a continuous spectrum of eigenvalues e whose contribution to (3.70) may be shown [Vainshtein et al. 1982] to equal Finally (3.70) gives... 

Continue the recursive steps until the solution settles down (when k = 50, or kT = 5 seconds) and hence determine the steady-state value of the feedback matrix K(0) and Riccati matrix P(0). What are the closed-loop eigenvalues ... 

We continue by substituting the eigenvalues, in turn, into the algebraic equations (3-110). Because these equations are not independent, it is not possible to solve uniquely for the individual 7a, 7z values only ratios can be obtained, as follows ... 

The spectrum of the operator q consists of the points in euclidean three space. The eigenfunctions x > are not normalizable in the usual way as they correspond to eigenvalues in the continuous spectrum, but are normalized to a 8-function... 

In (10-124) and (10-125), n and m refer to the eigenvalues of a complete set of commuting observables so Snm stands for a delta function m those observables in the set that have a continuous spectrum, and a Kronecker 8 in those that have a discrete spectrum. 

As known, the norm of the operator Tn is ecjual to the greatest eigenvalue max Aj,(Tn). Further replacements of Q/. and in (11) by continuous variables a and / lead to increased maximum of the right-hand side of (11) meaning...
