A scheme for functional integration developed by Cartier/DeWitt-Morett
e is first reviewed and then employed to construct the path integral r
epresentation for the solution of the Dirichlet problem in terms of fi
rst exit time. The path integral solution is then applied to calculate
the fixed-energy point-to-point transition amplitude both in configur
ation and phase space. The path integral solution can also be derived
using physical principles based on Feynman's original reasoning. We ch
eck that the Fourier transform in energy of the fixed-energy point-to-
point transition amplitude gives the well known time-dependent transit
ion amplitude, and calculate the WKB approximation. (C) 1997 Academic
