Approximation ladder-type

Next, we present some observations concerning the connection between the reconstruction process and the iterative solution of either CSE(p) or ICSE(p). The perturbative reconstruction functionals mentioned earlier each constitute a finite-order ladder-type approximation to the 3- and 4-RDMCs [46, 69] examples of the lowest-order corrections of this type are shown in Fig. 3. The hatched squares in these diagrams can be thought of as arising from the 2-RDM, which serves as an effective pair interaction for a form of many-body perturbation theory. Ordinarily, ladder-type perturbation expansions neglect three-electron (and higher) correlations, even when extended to infinite order in the effective pair interaction [46, 69], but iterative solution of the CSEs (or ICSEs) helps to...

In Fig. 4(a) we show a typical diagram in the expansion of A3 that cannot be incorporated into any ladder-type diagram because it involves simultaneous correlation between three particles [69]. As it appears in CSE(2) and ICSE(2), however, A3 is always traced over coordinate X3, and in Fig. 4(b) we show the effect of tT3 on the diagram in Fig. 4(a). Diagram 4(b) is included in the partial trace of a third-order ladder-type diagram, namely, the one shown in Fig. 4(c). Thus the presence of tr3 in the two-particle equations allows one to incorporate three- and higher-body effects that would not otherwise be present in a ladder approximation for the three- and four-electron cumulants. 

An alternative polymerization mechanism and polymer architecture has been proposed by Kirchhoff [1, 2, 3], Tan and Arnold [77], By this mechanism, polybenzocyclobutenes which do not contain reactive sites of unsaturation are proposed to polymerize by the 1,4 addition of the o-quinodimethane intermediates to give a substantially linear poly(o-xylylene) structure. Since the monomers all contain at least two benzocyclobutene units the net result of this reaction will to a first approximation be a ladder type polymer as shown in Fig. 17. The formation of a true ladder polymer however would require that all... 

The mono-and oligomethylene-bridged compounds [Z = (CH2) ,n = 1,3-8,10,12 entries 1-11,14,20-25,27,29,30,38) exhibit exclusively double ladder structures (A-type) in the solid state with separations between the two Sn4X2Y202 layers ranging from approximately 3.5 (40, entry 2) to 15 A (68, entry 30). The molecular structures of compounds 40 and 68 are shown in Figures 2.10.8 and 2.10.9, respectively. 

In a one—dimensional metal the formation of Cooper pairs is accompanied by the Peierls dielectric pairing [f]. This leads to a summation of "parquet" diagrammes instead of a "ladder" occuring in the three-dimensional case. The "parq.uet" corresponds to a logarithmic approximation and the calculation of the next approximations encounters considerable difficulties.. In the logarithmic approximation one obtains that in case of attraction of electrons both types of pairing appear simultaneously. It is not clear however whether this result is reliable and cannot it happen really that the dielectric coupling prevents the formation of Cooper pairs... 

Four types of heterocyclic bases are involved in the rungs of the DNA ladder, and it is the sequence of these bases that carries the information for protein synthesis. Human DNA consists of approximately 3 billion base pairs. In an effort that marks a milestone in the history of science, a working draft of the sequence of the 3 billion base pairs in the human genome was announced in 2000. A final version was announced in 2003, the 50th anniversary of the structure determination of DNA by Watson and Crick. 

In the next pages, I will briefly describe the different types of exchange-correlation functionals that appear in the Perdew s ladder (Fig. 2.2), and which are the approximations that are behind them.
