Closest point projection

We use the closest point projection technique (see Wriggers [21]) to determine contact between the membrane and the substrate surface. We consider a point which lies on the membrane surface, and find its projection on the substrate surface at x. The impenetrability constraint characterized by the gap between the two surfaces then reads,... 

This load has to balance the tractions and (see Figure 5.3). Therefore, computing requires determining the vectors n, a, and m. The normal is computed w.r.t to the known substrate surface at the contact point, by considering the closest point projection as mentioned in the surface contact, while the tangent is determined at the membrane point x as...

Note that these characteristics are all considered in 3D, whereas for the fitting of the generalized Thomas process the pair-correlation function of the projected point patterns has been used, that is, it has been computed in 2D. Note that Hs(r) is the probability that the distance from an arbitrary location in R, chosen at random, to the closest point of the point process is not larger than r > 0. Similarly, D(r) is the probability that the distance from an arbitrary point of the point process, chosen at random, to its nearest neighbor within the point process is not larger than r > 0. 

We now examine how a next-amplitude-map was obtained from tire attractor shown in figure C3.6.4(a) [171. Consider tire plane in tliis space whose projection is tire dashed curve i.e. a plane ortliogonal to tire (X (tj + t)) plane. Then, for tire /ctli intersection of tire (continuous) trajectory witli tliis plane, tliere will be a data point X (ti + r), X (ti + 2r))on tire attractor tliat lies closest to tire intersection of tire continuous trajectory. A second discretization produces tire set Xt- = k = 1,2,., I This set is used in tire constmction... 

In reference point based methods, the DM first specifies a reference point z S consisting of desirable aspiration levels for each objective and then this reference point is projected onto the Pareto optimal set. That is, a Pareto optimal solution closest to the reference point is found. The distance can be measured in different ways. Specifying a reference points is an intuitive way for the DM to direct the search of the most preferred solution. It is straightforward to compare the point specified and the solution obtained without artificial concepts. Examples of methods of this t rpe are the reference point method and the light beam search . 

The first issue is to define the innermost layer. For this, a distance from the rod is chosen which contains many counterions but virtually no coions. A distance of roughly 11.5 A from the rod axis turned out to be quite suitable. This is about a third ion diameter farther out than the distance of closest approach. To avoid difficulties with remaining coions, only the counterions within this distance are taken into account in what follows. In a second step, the coordinates of those ions are radially projected onto the surface of the cylinder of closest approach, and this surface is then rolled out to a flat plane see Figure 23 for an illustration of this procedure. Finally, the two-dimensional pair correlation function g(r) of these projected points is computed. 

Zij is a local projection vector and xj is the y-th landmark point. The landmarks can be found in a number of ways, however, perhaps the most useful is to use the -landmark points that are closest to each x where q is the same for all data points [24] and q < m. Therefore, the projection matrix Z has only q non-zero elements for every column. Spectral dimensionality reduction is then performed on the set of identified landmarks and the low-dimensional embedding is found via Y = YZ.
