Another class of methods of unidimensional minimization locates a point x near x, the value of the independent variable corresponding to the minimum of /(x), by extrapolation and interpolation using polynomial approximations as models of/(x). Both quadratic and cubic approximation have been proposed using function values only and using both function and derivative values. In functions where/ (x) is continuous, these methods are much more efficient than other methods and are now widely used to do line searches within multivariable optimizers.

Hyperbolic functions are combinations of positive and negative exponentials. They resemble gonlometrlc functions and derive their names from the fact that they describe the coordinates of points on rectangular hyperbolas. They are often encountered In diffuse double layer theory. ... 

The cosech function are expanded as a power series in kT. Inversion of the Laplace transform then gives a series solution for the density of states, whose first term is the same as the Marcus-Rice correction, Eq. (85), and whose subsequent terms are corrections containing smaller powers of -f- E. Ultimately the expansion of the partition function gives terms with negative powers of kT, which invert to delta functions and derivatives of delta functions, but truncating the series before this happens gives good smooth approximations to the density of states.

In this chapter, we develop efficient methods for the calculation of 4WM and SRF processes of large polyatomic molecules in condensed phases (e.g., solution, solid matrices, and glasses). The key quantity in the present formulation is the nonlinear response function R(t3,t2,ti)> which contains all the microscopic information relevant for any type of 4WM and SRF.6,11 12>19-2o>57 In Section II we introduce the nonlinear response function and derive the general formal expression for 4WM. The two ideal limiting cases of time-... 

An approach somewhat related to the broken-path method, but more accurate, has been employed by Johnson (1972). It also makes use of curvilinear coordinates (s, p) chosen with constant curvature, and divides the intermediate region into several sectors. In each of these the variables s, p are separable. Calculations were done with the amplitude density technique, matching functions and derivatives at each sector s boundary. The potential was that of Porter and Karplus, and the local vibrational motion was assumed to be harmonic. Good agreement was found with Diestler s at low energies. 

Obviously if one always starts with a function and derives differentials from it, one will never generate an inexact differential. However, in the physical sciences one is apt to come across differential expressions of the type...

In this appendix we present a discussion of a few mathematical techniques frequently utilized in thermodynamics. We treat several topics in the analysis of real functions of several real variables. We assume that the functions considered have the continuity properties necessary for the operations performed upon them to be meaningful. In Sec. A-1, we discuss some of the properties of partial derivatives. In Sec. A-2 we define homogeneous functions and derive a useful relation. In Sec. A-3, we treat linear differential forms. Line integrals are discussed in Sec. A-4. 

It is worth remarking that the local error expression is valid only if the hypotheses, which we assumed to calculate it, are verified. Specifically, it is essential to have no discontinuities in the function and derivatives up to a certain order according to the algorithm. 

As with the equilibrium solvation models introduced earlier, it is also possible to incorporate quantum mechanical effects into the non-equilibrium transport model. Our motivation is to account for non-equilibrium ion fluxes and induced response in the electronic structure of the solute or membrane protein. To this end, we combine our DG-based DFT model with our DG-based PNP model as illustrated in Fig. 12.4 to develop a free energy functional and derive the associated governing equations. 

The above expansions now allow representation for functions and derivatives to a higher order than previously used. 

Different basis equations are applied in these regions. Inside the spheres, one uses the radial solutions of equations. A linear combination of radial functions ui r)Yim r) and their derivatives with respect to the linearization parameters / is utilized. These functions and derivatives are matched on the sphere boimdaries. 

We see from Eq. (II.10) that the R-matrix relates the exact wave-function and derivative at the R-matrix boundary, A. If A is not near a classical turning point and is outside the channel coupling region, then with a high degree of accuracy we can take the wave function to be of the WKB form. For initial state i, it is ... 

These methods are not robust they must not be used when the function carmot be approximated by a quadratic in the minimum or when the function and derivatives are discontinuous or not evaluable.
