Driven equations method

In addition to the direct methods, in which one calculates first the continuum wavefunctions and subsequently the overlap integrals with the bound-state wavefunction, there are also indirect methods, which encompass the separate computation of the continuum wavefunctions the artificial channel method (Shapiro 1972 Shapiro and Bersohn 1982 Balint-Kurti and Shapiro 1985) and the driven equations method (Band, Freed, and Kouri 1981 Heather and Light 1983a,b). Kulander and Light (1980) applied another method, in which the overlap of the bound-state wavefunction with the continuum wavefunction is directly propagated. The desired photodissociation amplitudes are finally obtained by applying the correct boundary conditions for R —> oo. 

Both the BO dynamics and Gaussian wavepacket methods described above in Section n separate the nuclear and electronic motion at the outset, and use the concept of potential energy surfaces. In what is generally known as the Ehrenfest dynamics method, the picture is still of semiclassical nuclei and quantum mechanical electrons, but in a fundamentally different approach the electronic wave function is propagated at the same time as the pseudoparticles. These are driven by standard classical equations of motion, with the force provided by an instantaneous potential energy function... 

The calculation method and equations presented in the previous sections are for Newtonian fluids such that the flow due to screw rotation and the downstream pressure gradient can be solved independently, that is, via the principle of superposition. Since most resins are highly non-Newtonian, the rotational flow and pressure-driven flow in principle cannot be separated using superposition. That is, the shear dependency of the viscosity couples the equations such that they cannot be solved independently. Potente [50] states that the flows and pressure gradients should only be calculated using three-dimensional (3-D) numerical methods because of the limitations of the Newtonian model. 

As soon as mercury starts to come thru c, close c as well as the valve w. Open the waste-pipe x thus releasing the water pressure above mercury in e. As result of these opns part of mercury will flow back from a to e and a Torricellian vacuum will be created in the dome above the pycnometer. This will cause the removal of a large part of the air from pyc and its replacement with mercury. By repeating the above opns, all the air (except inside the grains) will be driven from the pyc thru valve c. Then the pyc is removed from a and weighed. This gives the wt of pyc with sample and mercury. As the wt of pyc filled with mercury, but without sample, is known, the density can be calcd by the equation used in Bianchi s method (See previous item)... 

Driven by the impossibility of solving the electronic Schrodinger equation accurately except for simple models and hydrogenic species, chemists turn to approximate methods to calculate the potential energy ab initio, semi-theoretical, semiempirical, and empirical. 

The method will be described as applied to BI, which is the basis for both extrapolation and BDF, both of which can be driven to fourth order accuracy, which is also achieved by the Numerov device applied to the right-hand side of the diffusion equation,... 

Ring opening metathesis polymerization, which has been known since the discovery of the alkene metathesis reaction, has been given the acronym ROMP in recent years. In fact, the ROMP reaction was the first observation made in alkene metathesis chemistry, while the discovery of the exchange reaction in equation (1) actually occurred later. Acychc diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization (equation 3) has only recently been shown to be a viable method for polymer synthesis, and it has been termed ADMET polymerization. ROMP reactions are driven by the release of ring strain from the monomer, while ADMET polymerization is driven by a shift in the equilibrium caused by the removal of one of the reaction products. 

In a similar vein, 3 equiv. of trimethylsilyldimethylamine have been used at room temperature to form the enamine from cyclohexanone, conditions under which the water is presumably consumed as hexa-methyldisiloxane (equation 5). This method has been extended to the formation of IVA -dimethyl-enamines from unsaturated aldehydes. Alternatively, enamines have also been obtained by converting the carbonyl compound to a ketal before reaction with the amine. The first process is endothermic but can be readily driven to completion and provides the driving force for formation of the enamine. 

While these problems, starting from the many-body Schrodinger equation, and ranging to pattern formation in driven complex fluids and chemical reactions at the biomolecule-membrane interface in aqueous solution, clearly are not yet solved and will remain at the forefront of challenges for many years to come, it must be emphasized that steady and important progress towards reaching these goals can be anticipated. Thus, we can expect that the role of computer simulation as the central and basic methodic approach of condensed matter theory will become even much more important in the future.
