The self-adjointness of Hermitian Hamiltonians
Description
For several examples of Hermitian operators, the issues involved in their possible self-adjoint extension are shown to conform with recognizable properties in the solutions to the associated classical equations of motion. This result confirms the assertion made in an earlier paper that there are sufficient classical open-quotes symptomsclose quotes to diagnose any quantum open-quotes illness.close quotes 3 refs
