Applications of the Characteristic Theory to the Madelung-de Broglie-Bohm System of Partial Differential Equations: The Guiding Equation as the Characteristic Velocity

Javier Gonzalez, Xavier Gimenez, Josep Maria Bofill

First, we use the theory of characteristics of first order partial differential equations to derive the guiding equation directly from the Quantum Evolution Equation (QEE). After o…
