TL;DR: In this paper, the generalized coherent states were studied using an operator technique similar to one we have used in a previous paper, and an alternative derivation of the most general coherent state was provided.
Abstract: Using an operator technique similar to one we have used in a previous paper, we study the generalized coherent states which were introduced by Titulaer and Glauber and discussed recently by Bialynicka-Birula. Using this technique, we provide an alternative derivation of the most general coherent state and then derive a number of interesting properties, some of which do not seem to be in the literature. For example, we show that the generalized coherent states are not minimum-uncertainty packets.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that it is possible to define true local entropy in velocity space, in an approximate version of the two-fluid formulation of quantum theory introduced by the present author in earlier papers.
Abstract: It is shown that it is possible to define ‘true local entropy’ in velocity space, in an approximate version of the two-fluid formulation of quantum theory introduced by the present author in earlier papers. Using this definition, it is then shown that it is possible to define finite forms for total entropy at all points in configuration space. This important step is achieved by the introduction of a ‘responding’ velocity space. The use of a basis system which responds to occupation number density, makes possible a clear separation of the statistics and the dynamics of the underlying quantum process, and also makes possible the unambiguous use of certain divergent and oscillatory integrals.
