This study introduces a Wigner-Cotton transformation for spectral problems on infinite domains, enabling a multi-dimensional WKB theory. This provides practical tools for approximating spectra and eigenfunctions.

Area of Science:

  • Mathematical Physics
  • Quantum Mechanics
  • Spectral Theory

Background:

  • Spectral problems for linear operators on infinite domains are fundamental in various physics and mathematics fields.
  • Existing methods for analyzing these problems can be computationally intensive or limited in scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel theoretical framework for analyzing spectral problems on fully infinite domains.
  • To extend the applicability of Wigner-type transformations and Wentzel-Kromers-Brillouin (WKB) theory to higher dimensions.
  • To provide practical computational tools for approximating spectra and eigenfunctions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a transformation technique, building upon Wigner's work, to analyze spectral properties.
  • Developed a multi-dimensional Wentzel-Kromers-Brillouin (WKB) theory for linear operators.
