It is well known that the angular dependence of each Cartesian p orbital is simply a unit vector in the corresponding Cartesian direction (px = ux, etc.). We can therefore associate each p, with a Cartesian direction vector dh...

As shown in Fig. 3.24, the outer contours of the hN NHO and onh NBO exhibit the expected cylindrical symmetry about the nominal hybrid direction vector marked by the dashed line. However, the inner contours are increasingly directed toward the dotted line of nuclear centers. The lack of overall cylindrical symmetry is best seen in the NBO plot of Fig. 3.24(b), where it can be seen that the H nucleus sits accurately in the pointy inner contours which are closely aligned with the dotted line of nuclear centers rather than the dashed line of nominal hybrid direction. This example illustrates that the optimized NHOs are free to adopt complex non-cylindrical shapes in which the apparent directionality varies with distance from the nucleus. Thus, the 3.9° bending does not correspond to true misalignment of the hybrid and nuclear directions at the actual bond distance, but rather reflects the fact that inner hybrid contours are slightly skewed with respect to the nominal average direction attributed to the NHO. That is, the hybrid itself (rather than the bond) is slightly bent.

Equations (5.1) define a direction vector at each point (t,y) of the n+1 dimensional space. Fig. 5.1 shows the field of such vectors for the radioactive decay model (5.2). Any function y(t), tangential to these vectors, satisfies (5.2) and is a solution of the differential equation. The family of such curves is the so called general solution. For (5.2) the general solution is given by... 

Definition 3.2.5 (Feasible direction vector) Let a feasible point S F. Then, any point jc in a ball of radius e around S which can be written as S + d is a nonzero vector if and only if jc S. A vector d 0 is called a feasible direction vector from S if there exists a ball of radius e ...

Equation 2.17 is of the form A = PDP-1. The 9x9 Hessian for a triatomic molecule (three Cartesian coordinates for each atom) is decomposed by diagonalization into a P matrix whose columns are direction vectors for the vibrations whose force constants are given by the k matrix. Actually, columns 1, 2 and 3 of P and the corresponding k, k2 and k3 of k refer to translational motion of the molecule (motion of the whole molecule from one place to another in space) these three force constants are nearly zero. Columns 4, 5 and 6 of P and the corresponding k4, k5 and k6 of k refer to rotational motion about the three principal...

The mean vectors of the winter and summer currents in the surface (0-40 m), subsurface (50-75 m), and intermediate (100-300 m) layers of the Black Sea are presented in Fig. 2. They confirm the cyclonic character of the BSGC in the winter and summer. Even at depths of 1,000 and 1, 500-m (not shown), southwest and southeast of the Crimea, where the currents feature relatively low velocities and diverse directions, in nine and five of the total 19 cases, cyclonically and anticyclonically directed vectors, respectively, were observed (in the remaining five cases, the vectors had quasimeridional directions). In the surface layer near the shore, anticyclonic vector directions were observed only three times twice in the wintertime off the Danube River mouth (see Fig. 2a) and once in the fall west of the Bosporus (not shown). These regions are known as areas of quasi-stationary NSAEs (see Fig. 1). 

As far as the Fletcher-Reeves method is concerned, it must clearly be the method of choice in linear coefficient optimization as it involves only the storage of gradient and direction vectors between iterations. It has been used by a number of authors (Sleeman,29 Fletcher,5 Kari and Sutcliffe,32 Claxton and Smith,51 and Weinstein and Pauncz52). It [is unfortunately possible, however, to sum up the experience so far gained of the method in quantum chemistry as disappointing, in the sense that in SCF caclulations the authors have found that the calculations proceed significantly more slowly than the conventional iterative procedure, when the conventional procedure converges at all.

By convention, the triad u, v, w denotes a point in direct space in terms of its "reduced coordinates" (i.e., the point is at ruvw = na + vb + ivc from the origin usually u, v, w are not integers). The symbol u v w] refers to the real-space direction (vector) ua + vb + zvc (now u, v, w are normally taken to be positive or negative integers or zero), which is also called a "zone axis." The symbol (u v w) denotes a series of such vectors which are different in direction but equivalent by crystal symmetry to each other. Here [2 2 1] is the same direction in direct space as [4 4 2],...
