Abstract

Abstract The Bohr–Sommerfeld quantization rule, 12π∮pdq =(n+δ)ℏ, arose in Section 3.1 from the boundary conditions on the JWKB wave function. Here it is set in the context of classical angle–action theory from which it evolved (Bohr 1913). The idea is that any bound periodic motion can be simply described in special action-angle variables, termed here (1, α), such that the action, defined in Cartesian variables by the equation
