Antisymmetric matrix

Some types of matrices that appear frequently are Hermitian matrices, for which A = A anti-Hermitian matrices, for which A = — A and unitary matrices, for which = U The MCSCF methods diseussed in most detail in this review will involve only operations of real matrices. In this case these matrix types reduce to symmetric matrices, for which A = A , antisymmetric matrices, for which A = — A, and orthogonal matrices, for which U = U. A particular type of orthogonal matrix is called a rotation matrix and satisfies the relation Det(R)= -I-1, where Det(R) is the usual definition of a determi-... 

When fhe lasf fwo indices are expanded from lower triangles to squares, symmetric and antisymmetric matrices are formed. The superscripts S and A denote these cases. Diagonal elements for the symmetric case have a different normalization factor. The rank of the spin-adapted H matrix for the closed-shell case is o- -v- -vo - -ov. ... 

Y amplitudes may be considered lower or upper triangles of symmetric and antisymmetric matrices over 2h or 2p pairs of indices. The symmetric case has a special normalization factor ( /2) when the indices are equal. For the 2ph case. 

The non-adiabatic coupling matrix t will be defined in a way similar to that in the Section V.A [see Eq. (51)], namely, as a product between a vector-function t(i) and a constant antisymmetric matrix g written in the form... 

Although Eq. (139) looks like a Schrodinger equation that contains a vector potential x, it cannot be interpreted as such because t is an antisymmetric matrix (thus, having diagonal terms that are equal to zero). This inconvenience can be repaired by employing the following unitary bansformation ...

The diagonal elements of an antisymmetric matrix must all be zero. Any arbitrary square matrix A may be written as the sum of a symmetric matrix A< and an antisymmetric matrix... 

Clearly, the first two bracketed terms have to individually vanish. Since the first bracket contains two symmetric matrices, this implies that g (x) = — g (x), and since the second bracket contains a symmetric matrix and an antisymmetric matrix, this also implies that g (x) = g (x) = 0. Furthermore, since g (x) = 5(x)/2 = Sfo(x)/SxT, it is also-concluded that g (x) = 0. Explicidy then, in the intermediate regime it follows that -...

For a system of real electronic wave functions, r11 is an antisymmetric matrix. Equation (7) can also be written in a matrix form as follows ... 

In Sections V.A.1-V.A.3, we treated one particular group of x matrices as presented in Eq. (51), where g is an antisymmetric matrix with constant elements. The general theory demands that the matrix D as presented in Eq. (52) be diagonal and that as such it contains (+1) and (—1) values in its diagonal. In the three examples that were worked out, we found that for this particular class of x matrices the corresponding D matrix contains either (+1) or (—1) terms but never a mixture of the two types. In other words, the D matrix can be represented in the following way ... 

Going back to our case and recalling that x(cp q) is a 3 x 3 antisymmetric matrix it can be shown that one of its eigenvalues is always zero and the others are two imaginary conjugate functions, namely, nj((p) where Trr(tp) =...

It can be seen from Eq. 1.7 that for all 4> 180°, the result will be an antisymmetric matrix (also called skew-symmetric matrices), for which = — J (or, in component form, Jij = —Jij for all i and j). If 4>= 180°, the matrix will be symmetric, in which = J. The lattice stmcture of a crystal, however, restricts the possible values for . In a symmetry operation, the lattice is mapped onto itself. Hence, each matrix element -and thus the trace of R (/ n + 22 + 33) - must be an integer. From Eq. 1.9, it is obvious that the trace is an integer equal to +(1 +2cos(f>). Thus, only one-fold (360°), two-fold (180°), three-fold (120°), four-fold (90°), and six-fold (60°) rotational symmetry are allowed. The corresponding axes are termed, respectively, monad, diad, triad, tetrad, and hexad.

The trial wavefunction depends on the elements of the antisymmetric matrix K, which determine the orbital variations, and on the CSF expansion coefficients c. The Hamiltonian expectation value for this wavefunction then takes the form... 

In practice, if the entry s-t contains +1, the entry t-s contains —1 if the entry s-t contains 0, also the entry t-s contains 0. Then, the Hasse matrix is a square nxn antisymmetric matrix, whose elements take only the values 0 and 1. Moreover, in presence of elements having the same variable values (for all the variables), in both the corresponding entries of the Hasse matrix s-t and t-s), a value equal to 1 is stored. In other words, the object t dominates the object s if no contradictions are present in all the variables describing the data otherwise, if for some variables t dominates s and for some others s dominates t, the two objects are not comparable.
