Abstract

The Schrödinger equation is fundamental in quantum mechanics as it makes it possible to determine the wave function from energies and to use this function in the mean calculation of variables, for example, as the most likely position of a group of one or more massive particles. In this paper, we present a survey on some theories involving the Schrödinger equation and the Feynman path integral. We also consider a Feynman-Kac-type formula, as introduced by Patrick Muldowney, with the Henstock integral in the description of the expectation of random walks of a particle. It is well known that the non-absolute integral defined by R. Henstock fixes" the defects of the Feynman integral. Possible applications where the potential in the Schr ödinger equation can be highly oscillating, discontinuous or delayed are mentioned in the end of the paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
