19. See Ref. 12 for the relation between the two classes of dissipative systems: one in which the coupling is mediated through a term in the total Hamiltonian, and the other in which the coupling is mediated by a boundary condition—the continuity of φ across x=a in the present case.

27. Since the positivity of ρ limits its singularity at x=a to at most a δ function, φ itself is continuous. Stronger singularities in ρ would also leave equations such as Eq. (2.4) undefined distributionally.

33. The technical condition that φ and φ^/ρ be differentiable, as well as the speed of convergence of the sum in Eq. (2.8), are outside the present scope; see Ref. 12.
34. Notice that, while novel for open classical systems as in Eq. (2.8), the concept of two-component expansion—where the same αj(†) are used to expand both φ and φ^ as in Eq. (5.8)—enjoys a wide textbook popularity for closed quantum systems. See, e.g., Ref. 16.

41. The fact that the sum in Eq. (2.8) converges more slowly if φ∉Γ 12 is irrelevant in the present formal development. In any case, for operator fields the large-wave-number components never get small as they do for smooth classical fields, irrespective of the expansion method. For numerical applications, it is best to optimize the final formulas for observable physical quantities for convergence along the lines of Sec. III of Ref. 13. Notice, however, that comparison of methods B and C in Ref. 12 shows the surface term in Eq. (4.3) to improve convergence also for function pairs outside Γ, in particular, to be essential for convergence to the second component.
42. However, we shall not notationally distinguish between corresponding classical and quantized fields, since the meaning will be clear from the context.
43. Notice that in general a-j=aj† provided that one chooses f-j=fj*, a relation that is imposed by normalization only up to a sign.
44. For simplicity of notation we discuss Eq. (6.5) for real ω only, but its proof can be extended to complex ω by continuing both sides analytically.
45. This expression is actually symmetric under x↔y, as will be shown in Appendix D.

48. Equations (7.3), (7.4), (7.9), and (7.10) apply for real ω, and the usual care 20 is needed when performing an analytic continuation from either positive or negative frequencies.
49. Per term; after summation over n the factor multiplying ω -1 is seen to vanish near ω=0, as required by consistency.

51. In the case n>n0 our numbering violates the convention ω-j=-ωj*. Likewise Eq. (8.4) violates the sign convention given earlier. However, these cause no problems here.

57. This corresponds to a model of an optical cavity with a thin slab of material of high dielectric constant, forming a mirror with some output coupling; see, e.g., Ref. 1.
58. Of course the projection formula for the latter, as opposed to the one for a QNM expansion, involves complex conjugation.

62. Up to normalization f(x,ω)=ψ(x,ω), the MU wave function ψ of Appendix D being defined on a continuum of frequencies in the limit Λ→∞.
63. In Eq. (5.8), the normalization (2.11) forces the fj to be real in the conservative limit, in contrast to the standard formalism where their phase is arbitrary. For uniformity we choose the ψ in Eq. (D1) to be real as well; this shows that the result in Eq. (D2) is well defined.
