A new class of sum rules in nonrelativistic scattering theory is obtained. By extending the concept of the Fredholm determinant to a local form defined at each space point *, a function with analytic properties analogous to the Fredholm determinant, but containing more information, is found. These rules assume the form of the power-moment problem and are valid in both quantum and classical mechanics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
