General proof

Since the sum over the cycle of the quantity 4QI is zero, this quantity is the differential of some property of state this property is called the entropy of the system and is given the symbol S. The defining equation for the entropy is then 

We have shown that 4Qr y/T has a cyclic integral equal to zero only for cycles that involve only two temperatures. The result can be generalized to any cycle. 

This second engine may execute as complicated a cycle as we please it may have many temperature reservoirs it may use any working substance. 

The two engines are coupled together to make a composite cyclic engine. The work produced by the composite engine in its cycle is Wc = W + W which, by Eqs. (8.30) and (8.32), is equal to 

We now adjust the direction of operation and the size of the Carnot engine so that the

To sum up, the ensemble average of any observable not explicitly a function of time is independent of time even for an ensemble formed from configuration eigenstates that are not eigenstates of the hamil-tonian, and even for observables that do not commute with the hamil-tonian. This raises the suspicion that there is a more general proof that ensemble averages in any ensemble are independent of time, and in the next section we show that this is indeed the case. 

We shall not attempt any general proof of the theorem at this point, but a few illustrations may be given. 

The reader is referred to textbooks on differential equations and applied mathematics for a more rigorous and general proof of the stability criterion (e.g., Logan, 1987). 

For small determinantal wavefunctions these statements are easily verified by explicit expansion the general proof rests on the fact that the determinant of a matrix product is equal to the product of the determinants of the matrices. 

The definition of these metrics appears somewhat arbitrary and is hard to understand in the framework of statistical reasoning. In particular, the meaning of maximum and minimum terms in the definition of the Chinchilli and the rho metrics cannot be easily verified. The fact that an arbitrarily defined index performs better for an arbitrarily selected set of experimental data cannot be accepted as a general proof of validation. 

In addition to the purely experimental proof of the proton addition complex by comparison of the electron excitation spectra of carbonium ions obtained in different ways, which in any case is restricted to a few examples, a general proof is possible by a theoretical interpretation of the electron excitation spectra with the aid of the basic model. In the case of anthracene three isomeric proton addition complexes have to be taken into account ... 

Thus the left-hand side of Equation (24) is seen to be identical to V V for the case (spherical symmetry) in which is independent of d and . Although this presentation does not constitute the most general proof of the Poisson equation, it does give it some plausibility. 

We shall pay particular attention to three properties. The number of walks which are at the starting point after n steps is asymptotically equal to qn/i 12 in d dimensions. This is closely related to the Polya theorem3 that the probability of ultimate return is 1 in one and two dimensions and less than 1 in three or more dimensions. The mean square length of walks of n steps is equal to n for all lattices in all dimensions. We shall shortly give a general proof of this result. For any individual lattice it can readily be derived from the generating function, since... 

The general proof of this claim will be presented (Chapter 11) after introduction of the metric geometrical formulation of equilibrium thermodynamics, which makes the basis of the claim rather obvious. More general and powerful geometrical methods of... 

The factor lj/h, where h is the order of the group and b 18 the dimension of the y th irreducible representation, has been included in (9.67) for convenience. Application of this procedure to the functions / gives us (unnormalized) symmetry-adapted functions g,. This procedure is applicable to generating sets of functions that form bases for irreducible representations from any set of functions that form a basis for a reducible representation. The proof of the procedure (9.67) for one-dimensional representations is outlined in Problem 9.22 we omit its general proof.5 Symmetry-adapted functions produced by (9.67) that belong to the same irreducible representation are not, in general, orthogonal. 

A fundamental property of the master equation is As t -> oo all solutions tend to the stationary solution or - in the case of decomposable or splitting W - to one of the stationary solutions. Again this statement is strictly true only for a finite number of discrete states. For an infinite number of states, and a fortiori for a continuous state space, there are exceptions, e.g., the random walk (2.11). Yet it is a useful rule of thumb for a physicist who knows that many systems tend to equilibrium. We shall therefore not attempt to give a general proof covering all possible cases, but restrict ourselves to a finite state space. There exist several ways of proving the theorem. Of course, they all rely on the property (2.5), which defines the class of W-matrices. 

A final remark should be made as to the validity of eq. (2.13). This equation suggests the existence of a set of independent relaxation mechanisms. A general proof for the existence of such mechanisms could be given for visco-elastic solids in terms of the thermodynamics of irreversible processes (52) at small deviation from equilibrium. For liquid systems, however, difficulties arise from the fact that in these systems displacements occur which are not related to the thermodynamic functions. 

In this appendix, we will derive a complex symmetric form for the Jordan block, see Eq. (E.l). We will also learn how such a degenerate representation may emerge in a realistic situation where the map reflects the property of an open (dissipative) structure. A general proof of the theorem, see below, was given already by Gantmacher [105] in 1959, but the theorem seems to be seldom mentioned. Here we will give an alternative proof, which also provides an explicit result that is also suggestive in connection with physical applications. 

II) For a general proof we will analyze the route all steps of which are reversible. If some step is irreversible, the weights of the spanning trees containing an inverse reaction, must be treated as zero.

Probably the presented equilibrium interpretation of the Prigogine theorem cannot be considered as its strict or general proof. At the same time this interpretation reveals the possibilities to automatically observe the principle of the least entropy production at equilibrium modeling of a wider spectrum of physicochemical processes. 

Mukherjee/69/, use of the sufficiency conditions (7.3.9) amounts in effect to assuming that ft is a valence-universal wave-operator. In fact Haque has explicitly demonstrated/123/ that the use of a valence-universal ft in the Fock-space Bloch equation leads automatically to eqn (7.3.9) with the ad-hoc sufficiency requirement. We give the sketch of a general proof here, since it shows that the extra information content of a Fock-space ft, as opposed to a Hilbert space, can be used to advantage for ensuring the connectivity of the cluster amplitudes of S/93/. For a valence-universal ft, the Fock-space Bloch equation (6.1.15) leads to... 

It is interesting to note that the response of a system to a harmonic input is itself harmonic at the same frequency under the twin conditions of linearity and time invariance of the system properties for stable systems. For instability and receptivity problems, there is no general proof of the same due to the nonlinear nature of the dispersion relation, despite the fact that one is studying linearized Navier- Stokes equation. Thus it can at best be an assumption that is adopted in many analyses of this problem, except in Sengupta et al. (1994, 2006, 2006a) where the full time-dependent problem is solved as a transient problem by considering Bromwich contours in a— and u>- planes simultaneously. 

One of the features of traditional eigenvalue analysis is that the disturbance held is assumed to grow either in space or in time. This distinction is only for ease of analysis and there are no general proofs or guidelines available that would tell an investigator which growth rate to investigate. Huerre Monkewitz (1985) have applied the so-called combined spatio-temporal... 

From the fact that T > 0 and that for a cyclic process JdQ/T < 0, can one not also immediately deduce that JdQ < 0 for the same process Discuss this question in detail. (A single counter-example suffices to establish that the proposition is false. Otherwise, a general proof is needed to show the statement to be correct.)... 

A minimal relaxation of the unique labeling condition of statement (1) is sufficient for the existence of a chirality-preserving racemization path. Following the general proof given for the n-dimensional case, this is verified subsequently. 

A general proof will not be given but instead we shall examine a special example of such a system. This system is... 

The general proof, given in Appendix I, that the parameters — X,- are nonpositive real numbers makes use of the transformation of the rate constant matrix K into a symmetric matrix K by the similarity transformation... 

Mechanism and Kinetics of SC Water Hydrolysis. Hydrolysis in liquid water is known to proceed through ionic intermediates as such the rate is affected by the ionic strength of the solvent. On the other hand the observation that a reaction is affected by solvent ionic strength, e.g. as the result of dissolved inert salts, is general proof of an ionic mechanism. This test was also applied to SC water hydrolysis. 

The general proof that these equations of motion, with conjugate conservation laws, generate the correct canonical distributions for the physical subsystem is provided in [19-21].

While all of these studies are in accord with the HSAB Principle, none of them can be taken as a general proof. Indeed, a rigorous proof may be very difficult to formulate. However, there is one noteworthy attempt. Write Equation (2.28) as...
