halfway page 41 Bohm obtains for the action variable
<br /> J = 2\int_{a(E)}^{b(E)} dq \sqrt{2m[E-V(q)]}<br />
Then he obtians the partial derivative to E "by a well-known theorem of the calculus":

<br /> \frac{\partial J}{\partial E} = 2\left\{ \sqrt{2m\left[E-V(q)\right]} \right\}_{q=b} \frac{\partial b}{\partial E} - 2\left\{ \sqrt{2m[E-V(q)]} \right\}_{q=a} \frac{\partial a}{\partial E} + 2 \int_a^b \sqrt{\frac{m}{2[E-V(q)]}} dq.<br />

What is this "well-known theorem"?

Thanks,

I would like to know the validity of the following criticism of one of Zeilinger's latest papers https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2507.07756 "violation of bell inequality with unentangled photons" The review is by Francis Villatoro, in Spanish, https://francis.naukas.com/2025/07/26/sin-entrelazamiento-no-se-pueden-incumplir-las-desigualdades-de-bell/ I will translate and summarize the criticism as follows: -It is true that a Bell inequality is violated, but not a CHSH inequality. The...
I understand that the world of interpretations of quantum mechanics is very complex, as experimental data hasn't completely falsified the main deterministic interpretations (such as Everett), vs non-deterministc ones, however, I read in online sources that Objective Collapse theories are being increasingly challenged. Does this mean that deterministic interpretations are more likely to be true? I always understood that the "collapse" or "measurement problem" was how we phrased the fact that...
This is not, strictly speaking, a discussion of interpretations per se. We often see discussions based on QM as it was understood during the early days and the famous Einstein-Bohr debates. The problem with this is that things in QM have advanced tremendously since then, and the 'weirdness' that puzzles those attempting to understand QM has changed. I recently came across a synopsis of these advances, allowing those interested in interpretational issues to understand the modern view...
