We present an embedding of stochastic optimal control problems, of the so called path integral form, into reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. Using consistent, sample based estimates of the embedding leads to a model free, non-parametric…

We obtain direct, finite, descriptions of a renormalized quantum mechanical system with no reference to ultraviolet cutoffs and running coupling constants, in both the Hamiltonian and path integral pictures. The path integral description…

In this article, we propose a new method to compute the effective properties of non-linear disordered media. We use the fact that the effective constants can be defined through the minimum of an energy functional. We express this minimum in…

We perform the stochastic quantization of scalar QED based on a generalization of the stochastic gauge fixing scheme and its geometric interpretation. It is shown that the stochastic quantization scheme exactly agrees with the usual path…

We generalize a semi-classical path integral approach originally introduced by Giachetti and Tognetti [Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 912 (1985)] and Feynman and Kleinert [Phys. Rev. A 34, 5080 (1986)] to time-dependent Hamiltonians, thus extending…

In this work, we present a new approach to the construction of variational integrators. In the general case, the estimation of the action integral in a time interval $[q_k,q_{k+1}]$ is used to construct a symplectic map $(q_k,q_{k+1})\to…
