Understanding Brownian Motion with Weiner Integral and Delta Functions

In summary, the conversation is about seeking help to solve the Brownian motion given by the Weiner Integral (over paths) for the case of V(x)=\delta (x) +\delta (x-1)+\delta (x-2). The speaker is seeking clarification on the notation used in the problem.

HI, i would need some help to solve the Brownian motion given by the Weiner Integral(over paths):

[tex] \int \mathcal D [x_{t}]exp(-\int dt (m/2(\dot x)^{2}-V(x)) [/tex]

for the case [tex] V(x)=\delta (x) +\delta (x-1)+\delta (x-2) [/tex]

any help would be appreciated, thanks

Can you please explain your notation? In particular, what is [tex]x_t[/tex], what is [tex]\dot x[/tex], and what is [tex]\mathcal D[/tex]?
 

Related to Understanding Brownian Motion with Weiner Integral and Delta Functions

1. What is Brownian Motion?

Brownian Motion is a phenomenon in which small particles in a fluid or gas move randomly and unpredictably due to collisions with molecules in the medium.

2. What is the Weiner Integral?

The Weiner Integral is a mathematical tool used to calculate the total displacement of a particle undergoing Brownian Motion. It takes into account the random and continuous nature of the particle's movement.

3. What are Delta Functions?

Delta Functions are mathematical functions that are used to represent the concentration of particles at a specific point in time or space. They are often used in conjunction with the Weiner Integral to understand and model Brownian Motion.

4. How are the Weiner Integral and Delta Functions used to understand Brownian Motion?

The Weiner Integral and Delta Functions are used in mathematical models to analyze and predict the behavior of particles undergoing Brownian Motion. They take into account the randomness and unpredictability of the motion and allow for more accurate predictions and analysis.

5. What are some real-world applications of understanding Brownian Motion with the Weiner Integral and Delta Functions?

Understanding Brownian Motion is crucial in many scientific fields, including physics, chemistry, and biology. It has practical applications in the study of diffusion, heat transfer, and the behavior of molecules in a variety of systems, such as the movement of pollutants in water or the spread of diseases in a population.
