Classical mechanics (CM), like quantum mechanics (QM), can have an operatorial formulation. This was pioneered by Koopman and von Neumann (KvN) in the 30's. They basically formalized, via the introduction of a classical Hilbert space,…
Noncommutivity of position and momentum makes it difficult to formulate the unambiguous structure of the kinetic part of Hamiltonian for the position-dependent effective mass (PDEM). Various existing proposals of writing the viable kinetic…
