Diagrammatic conventions

Diagrammatic Conventions.—A diagram is a device through which a corresponding algebraic expression can be obtained. A number of different diagrammatic conventions are in use. We shall follow the work of Brandow51 below and then discuss briefly its relation with other commonly used conventions. 

Concurrent computation and performance modelling ccMBPT. - Diagrammatic many-body perturbation theory leads directly to algorithms suitable for concurrent computation. The rules presented in Section 2.2 can be modified to enable a concurrent computation many-body perturbation theory (ccMBPT) algorithm to be constructed by introducing the additional diagrammatic convention... 

Particle lines are directed from left to right. Hole lines go from right to left. In the Goldstone diagrammatic convention, the diagrams... 

The two-body interaction is represented by a dot. This dot is identified as a two-body interaction by having a valency of four. A one-body interaction is represented in the Hugenholtz diagrammatic convention by a dot with a valency of two, for example... 

The operation and characteristics of a conventional safety relief valve are illustrated diagrammatically in Figure 3. The action of the valve as pressure rises from the initial normal operating pressure (assuming no back pressure) is described below. The effect of back pressure on PR valve operation is described later. 

This choice of columns and rows is completely arbitrary and switching the columns for the rows will yield equivalent results, but for the sake of consistency, this analysis will use the row column convention stated above. This data structure has been illustrated diagrammatically in Figure 6. In Figure 6, there are two hypothetical excipients excipient A has an absorption peak at 2100nm and excipient B has an absorption peak at 1400 nm. In this hypothetical example, absorbance measurements were taken at 100 nm intervals from 1000 to 2500 nm thus, there are 16 variables corresponding to the absorption data at the 16 wavelengths and there are two samples one for each excipient. 

The other point concerns syn and anti. We said earlier that there is no precise definition of these terms they are a useful way of distinguishing two diastereoisomers provided the structure of at least one of them is presented in diagrammatic form. For aldol products the convention is that syn or anti refers to the enolate substituent (the green Me in the last example) and the new hydroxy) group, provided the main chain is in the plane of the paper, the way we have encouraged you to draw molecules. 

It should perhaps be stated at this point that the use of diagrams in the many-body perturbation theory is not obligatory. The whole of the theoretical apparatus can be set up in entirely algebraic terms. However, the diagrams are both more physical and easier to handle than the algebraic expressions and it is well worth the effort required to familiarize oneself with the diagrammatic rules and conventions.

Many varieties of diagrams have used throughout the chemical physics literature for many years (e.g., see Refs. 1, 2, 80, 117, and 119). The diagrammatic formalism we have chosen here has been frequently used in work by the Bartlett group among others and is particularly straightforward for conventional coupled cluster and many-body perturbation theories. 

Representations in a stylised diagrammatic form of three proteins (interleukin-l/J, zinc insulin dimers, and the Fc fragment of immunoglobulin) are shown in Fig. 11.3. The nature of the three-dimensional stmcture shows how difficult it is to define proteins in conventional ways, and how they must be considered in a new light as pharmaceutical... 

As usual in degenerate time-independent diagrammatic methods,512 27 37 38 excited determinants are represented by external space operators rather than by pair creation-annihilation operators. Diagrammati-cally, an external line is a ray, whereas an internal line is a line segment. The four possible types of rays and line segments that arise in a CCSDT method are shown in Fig. 5. The indexing convention we will use for the rest of the chapter is that u, v, and w will denote external holes i and j internal holes /3, y, and e external particles (i.e., electrons) and a and b internal particles. 

Goldstone convention.] By assuming an HF reference state, the number of diagrammatic terms goes down to 1, 1, 3, 39, and 840 from first to fifth... 

The standard approach to nonlinear spectroscopy is to write the polarization generating the signal field in terms of a sum of response functions. In a third-order nonlinear response a molecule interacts with three fields, each of which drives the system into a coherence or population state that depends on what was created by the previous interaction. The sequence of three molecular coherences or populations is usually called a pathway. The diagrams of Fig. 2 help in counting of the number of possible pathways and in deducing their formulas. Other diagrammatic methods based on conventional representations of transitions between states can also be useful [79]. 

Fig. 2.6 A diagrammatic representation of the relationship between, below, the acoustic (left) and the optic (right) types of dispersion and, above, their respective density of vibrational states, g(0), for the external modes of a solid. The symbols are defined in the text. Notice, that we have inverted the conventional representation of dispersion to maintain a conventional display of the spectrum.

In Cizek s original paper [24], which derives from an even earlier dissertation, he reports results for semi-empirical Hamiltonians like PPP, but also even a partly ab initio result for Ni- However, his use of second-quantized based, diagrammatic techniques to derive the CC equations was unfamiliar to most quantum chemists (see [34]), likely delaying the appreciation of the CC method, although for simple cases like CCD, conventional Slater rule matrix evaluation can be applied [35] Also, explicit mles for diagrams were given and could have been used to derive more complicated CC equations.
