Angular reduction in multiparticle matrix elements
A general method for reduction of coupled spherical harmonic products is presented. When the total angular coupling is zero, the reduction leads to an explicitly real expression in the scalar products...

Application of perturbation theory to the damped sextic oscillator
Perturbation theory for the anharmonic oscillator with large damping has been used to solve the equation of motion for the damped sextic oscillator. The results so obtained are compared with the value...

A canonical formalism obtained for path-dependent Lagrangians is applied to Fokker-type Lagrangians. The results are specialized for coupling constant expansions and later on are applied to relativistic systems of particles interacting through symmetric scalar and vector mesodynamics and electrodynamics.
