Classical mechanics is formulated in complex Hilbert space with the introduction of a commutative product of operators, an antisymmetric bracket, and a quasidensity operator. These are analogues of the star product, the Moyal bracket, and…

An analysis of classical mechanics in a complex extension of phase space shows that a particle in such a space can behave in a way redolant of quantum mechanics; additional degrees of freedom permit 'tunnelling' without recourse to…
We will use analytic function theory and Fourier analysis to establish a characterization for some classical umbral calculus, which will focus on the generalization of the evaluation function. Although we cannot cover all the umbral…

We extend the classical length function to an ordinal-valued invariant on the class of all finite-dimensional Noetherian modules. We show how to calculate this combinatorial invariant by means of the fundamental cycle of the module, thus…
