…
►In the singular limit
, the functions , , become integral kernels of Feynman path integrals (distribution-valued Green’s functions); see Schulman (1981, pp. 194–195).

2: 2.6 Distributional Methods
…
►This leads to integrals of the form
…
►The distribution method outlined here can be extended readily to functions having an asymptotic expansion of the form
…
►To define convolutions of distributions, we first introduce the space of all distributions of the form
, where is a nonnegative integer, is a locally integrable function on which vanishes on , and denotes the th derivative of the distribution associated with .
…It is easily seen that
forms a commutative, associative linear algebra.
…
►On inserting this identity into (2.6.54), we immediately encounter divergent integrals of the form
…

►Consideration will be limited to ordinary linear second-order
differential equations
…
►Write , , expand and in Taylor series (§1.10(i)) centered at , and apply (3.7.2).
…where is the matrix
…and is the vector

…
►is seen to converge absolutely at each limit, and be independent of .
Furthermore, as , has the expansion (2.3.7).
…
►If this integral converges uniformly at each limit for all sufficiently large , then by the Riemann–Lebesgue lemma (§1.8(i))
…
►The final expansion then has the form
…The branch of is the one satisfying , where is the limiting value of as from .
