摘要: A simple iterative scheme which greatly facilitates the evaluation of discretized path integrals is presented. The method applied to study motion a proton in bistable potential and resulting configurational distribution function compared both integral Monte Carlo calculation ‘‘exact’’ result. As second illustration we present calculations radial for an Ar2 van der Waals dimer at two temperatures.
