Abstract

Scalar field systems containing higher derivatives are studied and quantized by Hamiltonian path integral formalism. A new point to previous quantization methods is that field functions and their derivatives with time are considered as independent canonical variables. Consequently, generating functional, explicit expressions of propagators and Feynman diagrams in ϕ³ theory are found
