Green functions structural matrix

Nakatsuji and Yasuda [56, 57] derived the 3- and 4-RDM expansions, in analogy with the Green function perturbation expansion. In their treatment the error played the role of the perturbation term. The algorithm that they obtained for the 3-RDM was analogous to the VCP one, but the matrix was decomposed into two terms one where two A elements are coupled and a higher-order one. Neither of these two terms can be evaluated exactly thus, in a sense, the difference with the VCP is just formal. However, the structure of the linked term suggested a procedure to approximate the A error, as will be seen later on. 

Abstract. We have calculated the scalar and tensor dipole polarizabilities (/3) and hyperpolarizabilities (7) of excited ls2p Po, ls2p P2- states of helium. Our theory includes fine structure of triplet sublevels. Semiempirical and accurate electron-correlated wave functions have been used to determine the static values of j3 and 7. Numerical calculations are carried out using sums of oscillator strengths and, alternatively, with the Green function for the excited valence electron. Specifically, we present results for the integral over the continuum, for second- and fourth-order matrix elements. The corresponding estimations indicate that these corrections are of the order of 23% for the scalar part of polarizability and only of the order of 3% for the tensor part... 

Our method makes it possible to use simple linear rules for exploring complicated nonlinear systems. A simple application is the study of connectivity among various chemical species in complicated reaction networks. In the simple case of homogeneous systems with time-invariant structure, the susceptibility matrix x = [Xhh ] = X depends only on the transit time and not on time itself. The matrix elements Xuu ( ) are proportional to the elements (t) of a Green function matrix G (t) = [G / (t)], which is the exponential of a connectivity matrix K, that is, G (t) = exp [tK]. It follows that from a response experiment involving a system with time-invariant structure, it is possible to evaluate the connectivity matrix, K, which contains information about the relations among the different chemical species involved in the reaction mechanism. The nondiagonal elements of the matrix K = Kuu I show whether in the reaction mechanism there is a direct connection between two species in particular, if Kuu 0, there is a connection from the species u to the species u the reverse connection, from u io u, exists if Ku u 0.

FIGURE 19-11 Cytochrome be, complex (Complex III). The complex is a dimer of identical monomers, each with 11 different subunits. (a) Structure of a monomer. The functional core is three subunits cytochrome b (green) with its two hemes (bH and foL, light red) the Rieske iron-sulfur protein (purple) with its 2Fe-2S centers (yellow) and cytochrome ci (blue) with its heme (red) (PDB ID 1BGY). (b) The dimeric functional unit. Cytochrome c, and the Rieske iron-sulfur protein project from the P surface and can interact with cytochrome c (not part of the functional complex) in the intermembrane space. The complex has two distinct binding sites for ubiquinone, QN and QP, which correspond to the sites of inhibition by two drugs that block oxidative phosphorylation. Antimycin A, which blocks electron flow from heme bH to Q, binds at QN, close to heme bH on the N (matrix) side of the membrane. Myxothiazol, which prevents electron flow from...
