Abstract
SummaryProfessor E. T. Whittaker has recently discovered a Third Quantum-Mechanical Principal Function R(q, Q, t - T) and has worked out the theory of this function in detail when the Hamiltonian is By using the Sturm-Liouville theory of linear differential equations and the properties of Green's function, it is shown that the function is an elementary solution of the adjoint of the Schrodinger wave equation associated with the Hamiltonian H.It is pointed out that the modified Planck constant ħ arises solely from the commutation relation and may, from the analytical view-point, be any constant, real or complex. In particular, if ħ = i, the use of an algebra with the commutation relation leads to an elementary solution of the real equation of parabolic type
