Physical Review C
Truncation, statistical inference, and single-particle description
R. Rossignoli, Angelo Plastino
Abstract
A generalization of the time dependent Hartree-Fock approach is presented. The corresponding extension is made by recourse to standard tools of statistical mechanics and allows for a wider scope of applications in comparison with the conventional treatment. The method is illustrated with reference to an exactly solvable U(n) model, with numerical examples presented for the case n=3.
