摘要
Given two probability density functions f1 and f2, a method is described for combining the densities in a physically meaningful way. The method involves the construction of underlying transformations tau-1 and tau-2, and then forming a dynamical system from these two transformations referred to as a random transformation. The invariant (stationary) probability density function for the random transformation is the "combined" density of f1 and f2. This method of combining probability density functions is used to model interference effects in physical systems. In particular, the dynamics of the two-slit experiment of quantum physics is modelled by an appropriate random transformation. Computer results are presented which qualitatively appear like experimental results. The notion of wave is not needed in the model.
