Eigensolution

For non-mteracting particles in a box, the result depends on the particle statistics Fenni, Bose of Boltzmamr. The state of a quanPim system can be specified by the wavefrmction for that state, Tv(Qi> Q2 . qyy). is the vth eigensolution to the Scln-ddinger equation for an A -particle system. If the particles are noninteracting, then the wavefrmction can be expressed in temis of the single-particle wavefrinctions given... 

For the case of the particle at rest the solutions (9-309) are also eigensolutions of the operator S3. In the standard representation, the representation (9-304) indicates that these two solutions correspond to two different possible orientations of the spin of the particle. However, 2 and H do not commute in general, i.e., when p 0. A more... 

Meiron (12) and Kessler et al. (13) have shown that numerical studies for small surface energy give indications of the loss-of-existence of the steady-state solutions. In these analyses numerical approximations to boundary integral forms of the freeboundary problem that are spliced to the parabolic shape far from the tip don t satisfy the symmetry condition at the cell tip when small values of the surface energy are introduced. The computed shapes near the tip show oscillations reminiscent of the eigensolution seen in the asymptotic analyses. Karma (14) has extended this analysis to a model for directional solidification in the absence of a temperature gradient. 

A trial variation function that has linear variation parameters only is an important special case, since it allows an analysis giving a systematic improvement on the lowest upper bound as well as upper bounds for excited states. We shall assume that i, 2, , represents a complete, normalized (but not necessarily orthogonal) set of functions for expanding the exact eigensolutions to the ESE. Thus we write... 

The initial states are bound eigensolutions in the isolated a electroruc subspace, and 4)" (r, R, t) is propagated in the (3 electroruc state. Thus the calculations involved are similar to the usual calculations in the Born-Oppenheimer approach, and will be briefly described below. 

The initial bound states are eigensolutions of the Hamiltonian in the a electronic subspace, and are expanded as... 

This expression for p(t) is sometimes convenient but does not help to find p(t) explicitly. The familiar method for solving equations of type (2.3) by means of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of W cannot be used as a general method, because W need not be symmetric, so that it is not certain that all solutions can be obtained as superpositions of these eigensolutions (see, however, V.7). 

For linear parallel polarizations of the writing beams at 0) and 2(0 frequencies and uniaxial (rod-like) molecules, the distribution N( 2) depends only on the polar angle 0. So the eigensolutions of the diffusion equation are the Legendre polynomials, with eigenvalues -/( +l). Therefore, the different order parameters... 

Next we write the general solution as a linear combination of eigensolutions. From (6), the general solution is... 

We assume that the complete set of eigensolutions, i// , of the stationary equation may be expressed as (this procedure is the one used by Brown)... 

Thus within any rotational manifold it is the eigensolutions of the effective Hamilton given by (23) which are invariant to orthogonal transformations and it these functions that will be used to consider the separation of electronic and nuclear motion. 

Although the problem defined by (3-95) and (3-96) is time dependent, it is linear in uJ and confined to the bounded spatial domain, 0 < r < 1. Thus it can be solved by the method of separation of variables. In this method we first find a set of eigensolutions that satisfy the DE (3-95) and the boundary condition at r = 1 then we determine the particular sum of those eigensolutions that also satisfies the initial condition at 7 = 0. The problem (3-95) and (3-96) comprises one example of the general class of so-called Sturm-Louiville problems for which an extensive theory is available that ensures the existence and uniqueness of solutions constructed by means of eigenfunction expansions by the method of separation of variables.14 It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the basic technique, and the solution of (3-95) and (3-96) is simply outlined without detailed proofs. We begin with the basic hypothesis that a solution of (3-95) exists in the separable form... 

Now let us suppose that a is complex with eigensolutions 0 and / and a is the complex conjugate of a with corresponding eigensolutions 0, / (these are the complex conjugates of 0 and /). We can then combine (12-215) in the following form ... 

Thus we assume that the eigensolutions are sums of terms of the form... 

The traditional methods of solution of many of the soluble problems of non-relativistic quantum mechanics employ a wide variety of analytical and algebraic methods, and their closed-form eigensolutions are usually expressed in terms of many different higher mathematical functions. However, most of these diverse functions can also be expressed quite conveniently in terms... 

Resonant wavefunctions - asymptotically expanding Non-Integrable eigensolutions. 

In the literature the relation (j) = X(f) with X defined by Eq. (16) is sometimes called exact kinetic balance. According to the derivation of Eq. (16) kinetic balance is always guaranteed exactly for strict eigensolutions of the Dirac... 

We focus on periodic systems (ID ordered polymers, 2D slabs and ultra-thin films, 3D —> crystals). A considerable variety of DFT implementations exists in codes for such systems, depending on the choice of basis set. (Somewhat confusingly for begiimers, in solid-state physics the choice of a basis commonly has been called a method , presumably because special techniques evolved to exploit the advantages and minimize the difficulties of each choice.) With few exceptions, modem codes are based on some approximate eigenvalue problem for an effective Hamiltonian, hence they expand the eigensolutions in linear combinations of one of four types of basis functions ... 

A natural way to introduce equations for excited states into a quantum chemical approach is to consider stimulating the molecule by a time-varying electric field to which the molecule can respond by excitation, and derive solutions from the time-dependent Schroedinger equation. Analysis then leads to equations for the excitation energies and properties of the excited state eigensolutions like transition moments. In particular, such an approach, after a Fourier transformation from time to frequency, will yield the dynamic polarizability whose spectral expansion is...
