Abstract:
Starting from the fact that intensities of displacement vector and momentum vector, beeing square roots of the sum of squares, are not linear operators, we linearized those operators by means of 2 × 2 matrices and calculated their commutator. It was expected to obtain the commutator in the form of diagonal quadratic matrix, but it turned out that it has all four elements different from zero. We diagonalized commutator, but even in this form it was not compatible with everywhere used commutator of displacement and momentum. The reduction of diagonalized matrices with usually used values of displacement-momentum commutator requires additional commutation rules between components of dispacement and momentum vectors.Keywords: LINEARIZATION INTENSITY OPERATORS; NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT RESULT FROM USUAL APPROACH
