WKB Expansions by Path Integrals, with Applications to the Anharmonic Oscillator,

Abstract

The author investigates the new approach to path integrals in quantum mechanics recently introduced by C. DeWitt-Morette, which has the advantage of not resting on the usual limiting process. It defines the suitable measures on the infinite-dimensional function spaces by their Fourier transforms, which are simple, closed-form expressions.
