A second quantized model of anharmonicity.

Abstract

A heuristic description is given for a simple harmonic oscillator as a basis for a model of anharmonicity. A formalism is applied in the process, which applies to complex excitation fields involving particle clusters and also facilitates a description of nonequilibrium multibody configurations by classical methods. The heuristic description is based on Streit's results (1965) and is free of linearization requirements in most physically interesting situations.
