The B matrix is, by definition, a unitary matrix (it is a product of two unitary matrices) and at this stage except for being dependent on F and, eventually, on So, it is rather arbitrary. In what follows, we shall derive some features of B. 

Thus B is a diagonal mati ix that contains in its diagonal (complex) numbers whose norm is 1 (this derivation holds as long as the adiabatic potentials are nondegenerate along the path T). From Eq. (31), we obtain that the B-matrix hansfomis the A-matrix from its initial value to its final value while tracing a closed contour ... 

Now, by comparing Eq. (37) with Eq. (39) it is noticed that B and D are identical, which implies that all the features that were found to exist for the B matrix also apply to the mabix D as defined in Eq. (38).

In terms of linear vector space, Buckingham s theorem (Theorem 2) simply states that the null space of the dimensional matrix has a fixed dimension, and Van Driest s rule (Theorem 3) then specifies the nullity of the dimensional matrix. The problem of finding a complete set of B-numbers is equivalent to that of computing a fundamental system of solutions of equation 13 called a complete set of B-vectors. For simplicity, the matrix formed by a complete set of B-vectors will be called a complete B-matrix. It can also be demonstrated that the choice of reference dimensions does not affect the B-numbers (22). 

Theorem 5. The transpose of is a complete B-matrrx of equation 13. It is advantageous if the dependent variables or the variables that can be regulated each occur in only one dimensionless product, so that a functional relationship among these dimensionless products may be most easily determined (8). For example, if a velocity is easily varied experimentally, then the velocity should occur in only one of the independent dimensionless variables (products). In other words, it is sometimes desirable to have certain specified variables, each of which occurs in one and only one of the B-vectors. The following theorem gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such a complete B-matrix. This result can be used to enumerate such a B-matrix without the necessity of exhausting all possibilities by linear combinations. 

Theorem 6. Let be a given complete B-matrix associated with a set of variables. Then there exists a complete B-matrix of these variables such that certain specified variables each occur in only one of the B-vectors of A if, and only if, the tows corresponding to these specified variables in A are lineady independent. 

According to Theorem 5, the transpose 3 complete B-matrix. Since there are five variables and since the rank of Dis 3, Theorem 1 reveals... 

Suppose that the problem is to find a B-matris of D such that the variables C, and E each occur in one and only one of the B-vectors. Since the submatris Af of Cconsisting of the first three rows corresponding to the variables C, and E is nonsingular, according to Theorem 6 there exists a B-matrix with the desired property. Let Af be the adjoint matrix of M. Then (eq. 52) ... 

Hence, the right-hand side of equation 52 is a desired complete B-matrix. A functional relationship among the associated B-numbers can be obtained and is given by (eq. 53) ... 

Siace the columns of any complete B-matrix are a basis for the null space of the dimensional matrix, it follows that any two complete B-matrices are related by a nonsingular transformation. In other words, a complete B-matrix itself contains enough information as to which linear combiaations should be formed to obtain the optimized ones. Based on this observation, an efficient algorithm for the generation of an optimized complete B-matrix has been presented (22). No attempt is made here to demonstrate the algorithm. Instead, an example is being used to illustrate the results. 

For a more complicated [B] matrix that has, say, n columns whereas [A] has m rows (remember [A] must have p columns and [B] must have p rows), the [C] matrix will have m rows and n columns. That is, the multiplication in Equations (A.21) and (A.22) is repeated as many times as there are columns in [B]. Note that, although the product [A][B] can be found as in Equation (A.21), the product [B][A] is not simultaneously defined unless [B] and [A] have the same number of rows and columns. Thus, [A] cannot be premultiplied by [B] if [A][B] is defined unless [B] and [A] are square. Moreover, even if both [A][B] and [B][A] are defined, there is no guarantee that [A][B] = [B][A]. That is, matrix multiplication is not necessarily commutative.

As V is a unitary matrix, Y = VTX is just an equivalent set of Cartesian coordinates, and = UTZ is just an equivalent set of internal coordinates, simply linear combinations of the Zn. The i, , N-6, change independently, in proportion to changes in linear combinations of the Cartesian coordinates. So, locally, we have defined 3N — 6 independent internal coordinates. Every different configuration of the molecule, X, will have a different B matrix, and hence a different definition of local internal coordinates, defined automatically.

In PLS both the matrices of measured values Y and analytical values X are decomposed according to Eqs. (6.89) and (6.90) Y = TPr + EY and X = TQt + Ex and thus relations between spectra and concentrations are considered from the outset. The B-matrix of calibration coefficients is estimated by... 

Because the Y-matrix and X-matrix are interdependently decomposed the B-matrix fits better and more robust than in PCR the calibration. The evaluation is carried out by Eq. (6.88) according to X = YB. The application of PLS to only one y-variable is denoted as PLS 1. When several y-variables are considered in the form of a matrix the procedure is denoted PLS 2 (Manne [1987] H0skuldsson [1988] Martens and ISLes [1989] Faber and Kowalski [1997a, b]). 

Note that the number of terms in the summation is m, corresponding to the number of columns of A and the rows of B. Matrix multiplication in general is not commutative as is the case with scalars, that is,...
