In this work a Feynman-Kac path integral method based on Lévy measure has been proposed for solving the Cauchy problems associated with the space-time fractional Schrödinger equations arising in interacting systems in fractional quantum mechanics. The Continuous Time Random Walk(CTRW) model is used to simulate the underlying Lévy process-a generalized Wiener process. Since we are interested to capture the lowest energy state of the quantum systems, we use Pareto distributions as opposed to Mittag-Leffler random variables, which are more suitable for finite time. Adopting the CTRW model 1 we have been able to simulate the space-time fractional diffusion process with comparable simplicity and covergence rate as in the case of standard diffusion processes. We hope this paves an elegant way to solve space-time diffusion equations numerically through Fractional Feynman-Kac path integral technique as an alternative to fractional calculus.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
