Derivative formulas

We recently received a preprint from Dellago et al. [9] that proposed an algorithm for path sampling, which is based on the Langevin equation (and is therefore in the spirit of approach (A) [8]). They further derive formulas to compute rate constants that are based on correlation functions. Their method of computing rate constants is an alternative approach to the formula for the state conditional probability derived in the present manuscript. 

The above phenomenological equations are assumed to hold in our system as well (after appropriate averaging). Below we derive formulas for P[Aq B, t), which start from a microscopic model and therefore makes it possible to compare the same quantity with the above phenomenological equa tioii. We also note that the formulas below are, in principle, exact. Therefore tests of the existence of a rate constant and the validity of the above model can be made. We rewrite the state conditional probability with the help of a step function - Hb(X). Hb X) is zero when X is in A and is one when X is ill B. 

To derive formula (4.318) for vapor flow in a porous material, we approximate the pressure gradient in Eq. (4.318) with... 

If the perturbation is a homogeneous electric field F, the perturbation operator P i (eq. (10.17)) is the position vector r and P2 is zero. As.suming that the basis functions are independent of the electric field (as is normally the case), the first-order HF property, the dipole moment, from the derivative formula (10.21) is given as (since an HF wave function obeys the Hellmann-Feynman theorem)... 

The second-order property, the dipole polarizability, as given by the derivative formula eq. (10.31), is... 

An important step toward the understanding and theoretical description of microwave conductivity was made between 1989 and 1993, during the doctoral work of G. Schlichthorl, who used silicon wafers in contact with solutions containing different concentrations of ammonium fluoride.9 The analytical formula obtained for potential-dependent, photoin-duced microwave conductivity (PMC) could explain the experimental results. The still puzzling and controversial observation of dammed-up charge carriers in semiconductor surfaces motivated the collaboration with a researcher (L. Elstner) on silicon devices. A sophisticated computation program was used to calculate microwave conductivity from basic transport equations for a Schottky barrier. The experimental curves could be matched and it was confirmed for silicon interfaces that the analytically derived formulas for potential-dependent microwave conductivity were identical with the numerically derived nonsimplified functions within 10%.10... 

The theoretically derived formula (21) relating PMC measurements to the surface concentration of minority carriers and interfacial rate constants contains a proportionality constant, S, the sensitivity factor. This factor depends on both the conductivity distribution in the semiconductor elec-... 

Scarcely had the covalent chain concept of the structure of high polymers found root when theoretical chemists began to invade the field. In 1930 Kuhn o published the first application of the methods of statistics to a polymer problem he derived formulas expressing the molecular weight distribution in degraded cellulose on the assumption that splitting of interunit bonds occurs at random. 

This estimate of the discretization error ought to be known in numerical mathematics. Usually it is easier to derive formulas like this than too look them up in the literature. 

We have derived formulas for the gravitational field outside and at the surface of the rotating spheroid with an arbitrary value of flattening /, provided that this surface is equipotential. Such a distribution of the potential U(p) takes place only for a certain behavior of the density of masses. For instance, as follows from the condition of the hydrostatic equilibrium this may happen if the spheroid is represented as a system of confocal ellipsoidal shells with a constant density inside each of them. 

From the previously derived formula we compute the steady-state peak and trough concentrations in plasma ... 

In this chapter, we focus on the method of constraints and on ABF. Generalized coordinates are first described and some background material is provided to introduce the different free energy techniques properly. The central formula for practical calculations of the derivative of the free energy is given. Then the method of constraints and ABF are presented. A newly derived formula, which is simpler to implement in a molecular dynamics code, is given. A discussion of some alternative approaches (steered force molecular dynamics [35-37] and metadynamics [30-34]) is provided. Numerical examples illustrate some of the applications of these techniques. We finish with a discussion of parameterized Hamiltonian functions in the context of alchemical transformations. 

Therefore an extension of this idea was presented in a paper by Hannibal Madden [7], Instead of presenting the already-worked-out numbers, Madden derived formulas from which the coefficients could be computed, and presented a table of those formulas in this paper. This is definitely a step up, since it confers several advantages ... 

Letcher and Van Wazer<1966,2,3 1967,11 have proposed to deal with s and p contributions, and especially their 7r-terms, as being by far the most important in relation to sizeable parameters, e.g. substituent electronegativities and bond angles, of phosphorus. As the latter are known in but a few compounds the use of derived formulae can only be qualitative as for phosphonate anions/1967,71 Of course, the consideration of only s and p orbitals is better when dealing with di- or tri- valent... 

Although the isolation and identification of new disaccharides, tri-saccharides and tetrasaccharides and their derivatives, either by acid hydrolysis or by controlled oxidative degradation, " would be of great help in these studies it would appear to be worth while to develop other indirect methods of approach involving the use of enzymes capable of effecting scission at specific points in the molecular complex. Better methods for the quantitative separation of sugars and their derivatives are in the process of development and it is not unlikely that in the near future it will be possible to derive formulas not only for plant gums but for the many related complex polysaccharides. 

They also derived formulas for Us-up relationships for brass and Plexiglas. These relationships are given as eqs (3) (4)... 

The geometrical meaning of the Schrodinger equation (9.1) is not as concrete in the case of the continuous spectrum as it is in the case of the point spectrum. Therefore, in applications it is better to derive formulas first for the point spectrum and only at the end allow the principal quantum number n to take pure imaginary values. This procedure allows one to see that the ( , a) s are analytic functions of n and a that, for pure imaginary values of n and a, differ from the corresponding functions of the continuous spectrum... 

Reversible bimolecular reactions such asA + B C + D can be solved exactly by the method of separation of variables and the ordinary differential equations in the variable s are Lame equations. This makes the evaluation of the Fourier-type coefficients very difficult since derivative formulas and orthogonality conditions do not seem to exist or at least are not easily used. In addition to this, even if such formulas did exist, it seems unlikely that numerical results could be easily obtained. It does turn out, however, that these reversible bimolecular processes can be solved exactly and conveniently in the equilibrium limit, and this was done by Darvey, Ninham, and Staff.14... 

We will not go into the quantum mechanics needed to derive formulas for the energy levels that a molecule can assume. The derivation of these quantities can be found in any introductory physical chemistry textbook. However, we will summarize the important results here. 

For a linear molecule with a small moment of inertia (e.g., H2), Eq. 8.81 will not be valid. Starting with Eq. 8.78, derive an expression for (E — Eq)v01 f°r the case where the high-temperature limit is not valid, that is, when an explicit term-by-term summation is needed to evaluate the rotational partition function. Use the derived formula to evaluate (E — Eq )rot for IV = A = 1 mole of H2 at 298 K. Compare the result with the high-temperature limit prediction. Find the percent difference in the two results. 

In section Section 10.1.2.3 we derived formulas for the collision frequency between two unlike molecules 1 and 2. Each molecule was characterized by a radius r,-, and any time the distance between the centers of the molecules was less than or equal to the sum of the radii, a collision was said to occur. The exact nature of a collision and what the radii (or the collision cross section) depend on were not specified. For example, whether a collision happened to be head-on or just grazing did not matter in deriving Eq. 10.52 or 10.59. All types of collisions counted. 

In any real system, / is expected to deviate from unity by not more than 10%. Two numerical examples will show how much the results are affected by such a deviation. Consider, e.g., a polymerization which occurs upon mixing a 1 M solution of monomer with living polymers so that the resulting reaction reduces eventually the monomer concentration to its equilibrium value of 10-7 mole/liter. Using the derived formulae, we find... 

The enol (Formula 163) can be trapped by irradiating Formula 161 in the presence of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (65). The adduct (Formula 164), obtained in 85% yield, is not characterized but is immediately dehydrated to the naphthalene derivative (Formula 165) (65). 

In summary, we have derived formulas for the Weyl-Titchmarsh m-function, where the imaginary part serves as a spectral function of the differential equation in question. Before we look at the full m-function, we will see how it works in connection with the spectral resolution of the associated Green s function...
