Connection formula approximation

We shall first briefly describe the phase-integral approximation referred to in item (i). Then we collect connection formulas pertaining to a single transition point [first-order zero or first-order pole of Q2(z) and to a real potential barrier, which can be derived by... 

The idea of mixing density functional approximations with exact (Hartree-Fock-Uke) exchange rests on theoretical considerations involving the adiabatic connection formula... 

The above connection is made on the Stokes line and one-half of the Stokes constants are assigned to the Stokes line according to the Jeffrey s connection formula (24). This procedure leads to the explicit approximate expression of Uu... 

This is the well-known Gamov formula of tunneling probability. It is now well understood that the connection formulas of Equations (2.49) and (2.50) are crucial. These formulas can be obtained from the Airy function, since the potential in the vicinity of the turning point can be approximated by a linear function of x for which the Airy function gives the exact analytical solution.

Structural isomers are molecules that have the same formula but in which the atoms are connected in a different order. Two isomers of disulfur difluoride, S2F2, are known. In each the two S atoms are bonded to each other. In one isomer each of the S atoms is bonded to an F atom. In the other isomer, both F atoms are attached to one of the S atoms, (a) In each isomer the S—S bond length is approximately 190 pm. Are the S—S bonds in these isomers single bonds or do they have some double bond character (b) Draw two resonance structures for each isomer, (c) Determine for each isomer which structure is favored by formal charge considerations. Are your conclusions consistent with the S—S bond lengths in the compounds ... 

A greater gain in accuracy in connection with the temperature wave depends significantly on how well we calculate the coefficients a (v). In the case where k = k u is a power function of temperature, numerical experiments showed that formula (38) is useless and formula (36) is much more flexible than (37), so there is some reason to be concerned about this. Further comparison of schemes (34) and (35) should cause some difficulties. Both schemes are absolutely stable and have the same error of approximation 0 r + h ). The scheme a) is linear with respect to the value of the function on the layer and so the value y7+i on every new layer... 

The second-order changes, in terms of which polarizability coefficients may be defined, are much more difficult to discuss because they involve essentially a change in the wave function (made in such a way as to preserve self-consistency)—unlike the first-order changes, which involve the Mwperturbed wave function only. Approximate formulae for the polarizabilities were first obtained (McWeeny, 1956) using a steepest descent method to minimize the energy, a useful result being the establishment of a connection between tt,, and F, valid for systems of any kind (non-alternant or heteroaromatic included) and applicable either in Hiickel theory or in a more complete theory. 

The reconstruction functionals may be understood as substantially renormalized many-body perturbation expansions. When exact lower RDMs are employed in the functionals, contributions from all orders of perturbation theory are contained in the reconstructed RDMs. As mentioned previously, the reconstruction exactly accounts for configurations in which at least one particle is statistically isolated from the others. Since we know the unconnected p-RDM exactly, all of the error arises from our imprecise knowledge of the connected p-RDM. The connected nature of the connected p-RDM will allow us to estimate the size of its error. For a Hamiltonian with no more than two-particle interactions, the connected p-RDM will have its first nonvanishing term in the (p — 1) order of many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) with a Hartree-Fock reference. This assertion may be understood by noticing that the minimum number of pairwise potentials V required to connectp particles completely is (p — 1). It follows from this that as the number of particles p in the reconstmcted RDM increases, the accuracy of the functional approximation improves. The reconstmction formula in Table I for the 2-RDM is equivalent to the Hartree-Fock approximation since it assumes that the two particles are statistically independent. Correlation corrections first appear in the 3-RDM functional, which with A = 0 is correct through first order of MBPT, and the 4-RDM functional with A = 0 is correct through second order of MBPT. 

Only the connected ROMs A and scale linearly with N in the reconstruction formulas for the 3- and 4-RDMs. However, the contraction of the 4-RDM reconstruction formula in Table I generates by transvection additional terms that scale linearly with N. Without approximation the terms that scale linearly with N on both sides of Eq. (47) may be set equal. These terms must be equal to preserve the validity of Eq. (47) for any integer value of N. In this manner we obtain a relation that reveals which terms of the 4-RDM reconstruction functional are mapped to the connected 3-RDM [26] ... 

My opinion is that the partial success of Lippincott s empirical formula is not at all connected with the special kind of functions applied by him to the approximate energy of the bonds A—H and H—B. I am sure that the same results may be obtained using Morse s function. However, the model is not physically proved.
