Group theory programming

Tabje 3. Order parameter components for the subgroups of / mSm associated with special points Mj and R4 (after Howard and Stokes 1998). The system of reference axes for these components is that used in Stokes and Hatch (1988) and the group theory program ISOTROPY.

To carry out this operation, a personal computer has proven indispensable. A group of programs implementing these ideas has been written by our colleague Peter Meyer. We call this program Timewave Zero. This software takes these theories and discoveries concerning the / Ching and creates time maps based upon them. These time maps or novelty maps show the ebb and flow of cormectedness or novelty in any span of time from a few days to tens of milletmia. The theory is not deterministic it... 

Vincent, A. (2001) Molecular Symmetry and Group Theory A Programmed Introduction to Chemical Applications, 2nd edn, John Wiley Sons, Inc., New York, USA. This popular textbook may serve the more advanced reader well, with a slightly deeper mathematical base but a well-staged programmed learning approach. 

The number of possible isomers generally increases with the number of different ligands. Strategies have been developed for calculating the maximum number of isomers on the basis of an initial structure, but complete isomer lists were difficult to obtain until computer programs were used. P61ya used group theory to calculate the number of isomers. ... 

Detailed neutronics calculations were performed in spherical geometry using the transport code DTF-IV in the P1-S4 approximation with 27 broad energy groups. A space-independent perturbation cross section was also computed at the center of the system for comparison with measured results. The first-order transport perturbation theory program GAPER was used in evaluating central material worths as well as Doppler and sodium-void reactivity coefficients. 

Theorem Provers. Most theorems in mathematics can be expressed in first-order predicate calculus. For any particular area, such as synthetic geometry or group theory, all provable theorems can be derived from a set of axioms. Mathematicians have written programs to automatically prove theorems since the 1950 s. These theorem provers either start with the axioms and apply an inference technique, or start with the theorem and work backward to see how it can be derived from axioms. Resolution, developed in Prolog, is a well-known automated technique that can be used to prove theorems, but there are many others. For Resolution, the user starts with the theorem, converts it to a normal form, and then mechanically builds reverse decision trees to prove the theorem. If a reverse decision tree whose leaf nodes are all axioms is found, then a proof of the theorem has been discovered. 

Alan Vincent, Molecular Symmetry and GroupTheory A Programmed Introduction to Chemical Applications, 2nd ed., John Wiley Sons, New York, 2001. This is a very nice little book with a common-sense approach that clearly explains the basic facts and uses of group theory. 

In spite of the usefulness of group theory in reducing the computational labor and providing a better understanding of the physical reality, polymer quantum calculations rarely have made use of more than translational periodicity. One should mention precursors who have gone beyond translational symmetry McCubbin (16d), Blumen and Merkel (16e). The letters have succeeded in implanting cyclic screw axis symmetry into an ab initio program.
