• Integral Equations and Operator Theory
  Lance Nielsen, The abstract approach to Feynman's operational calculus using arbitrary time-ordering measures is developed using two approaches to addressing the combinatorial complexities which arise. An evolution equation is established for the second of the two approaches and examples are considered.
