Abstract
In this paper, we investigate two approaches to the use of unbounded operators
in Feynman's operational calculus. The first involves using
a functional calculus for unbounded operators introduced by A. E. Taylor
in the paper [34]. The second approach uses analytic families
of closed unbounded operators as discussed in [19]. For each
approach, we discuss the essential properties of the operational calculus
as well as continuity (or stability) properties. Finally, for the approach using the
Taylor calculus, we discussion a connection between Feynman's operational calculus
in this setting with the Modified Feynman Integral of M. L. Lapidus ([14, 20]). |
