Curves Representations

Evaluation of catalyst for oxidation of pollutants usually involves an Ignition Curve determination. This is a slightly overused expression, because only heat generation is evaluated, not heat removal. For a true ignition curve representation, heat removal evaluation would also be required. 

Representations. From the formal point of view, the full-curve and reduced representation of the spectra as well as all handling with them are identical. The only difference is the length (dimensionality) of the representations. The most important aspect of the reduced spectral representation (for the reduction of the spectral curves see Chapter 5) is the possibility to work with a significantly smaller number of variables compared to the number of intensity values of the full-curve representation. It is assumed, of course, that the reduced representation carries only slightly less information than the original full-curve spectrum.

In Section 3.3 it will be shown that, to describe perturbations which result from neglected terms in the Hel + TN (R) part of the Hamiltonian, two different types of BO representations are useful. If a crossing (diabatic) potential curve representation is used, off-diagonal matrix elements of Hel appear between the states of this representation. If a noncrossing (adiabatic) potential curve representation is the starting point, the TN operator becomes responsible for perturbations. 

Predissociation effects may be treated in either the diabatic (crossing potential curves) or adiabatic (noncrossing curves) representation. Criteria for choosing the more convenient representation are discussed in Section 3.3.4. When the adiabatic representation is appropriate, predissociative interactions between states of the same symmetry result from the nuclear kinetic energy operator. The matrix elements of this operator cannot be factored in the same way as Eq. (7.5.14) because the electronic element... 

The first step in analysis of the isotherm is to determine to which classification the isotherm belongs. A further recommendation is to determine the classification of the isotherm according to the standard curve representation or the / plot representation. This used to be more difficult than present since...

This entity defines a curve as the intersection of the two referenced surfaces, curve is the three-dimensional curve representation. curve s1 and curve s2 are representations in the two-dimensional parametric space of the surfacel and surface2 respectively. 

All three curve representations (curve, curvets1, and curve s2) are merely the best available approximations of the intersection. The receiving system will have to insure that the approximations are good enough. 

The geometry associated with the EDGE is defined as a curve that is common to the surfaces which are associated to all FACES adjacent to that EDGE. In most cases, this will be the intersection of the two surfaces. However, tangent connection is also allowed. The curve attribute of an EDGE refers to a curve representation which, when received on a neutral file, is the the best available approximation to that common curve. The receiving system must check whether it should iteratively improve the curve representation in order... 

The second item returned by the datafitQ function is a table containing three items a table of the x locations of the interpolation knots (the xc values), a table of the y values associated with the knots (the c values) and the uncertainties associated with the determination of the know y values from nlstsq() (the del values). In most used of this fimction this additional information will not be needed as the proof of the technique will simply reside in an observation of how well the returned function provides an acceptable smoofli curve representation of the input data points. 

It can be seen that the dotted curve provides a very good smooth curve representation of the data points. This datafit() function is a computer generated equivalent to the draftsman s French Curve. Although it is not shown in Listing 7.17, the analysis actually generates 6 interpolation points or knots uniformly spaced along the data with a knot at each end of the data range and with 4 internal knots.
