New Variational Principles in Classical and Semiclassical Mechanics

Abstract

We demonstrate that reciprocal Maupertuis' Principle is the classical limit of Schrödinger's Variational Principle in Quantum Mechanics.

Comments: To appear in the Michael Marinov Memorial Volume, "Multiple facets of quantization and supersymmetry", edited by M. Olshanetsky and A. Vainshtein (World Scientific). We corrected TEX style of the paper so that the names of both authors can be seen in PS file now
