Integral invariance

A fundamental tool in the study of compact groups (such as SU (2), tori and SO(n) for any n) is invariant integration. An integral on a group G allows us to dehne a complex vector space An integral invariant under multipli-... 

Then, in general, all integrals of this kind become functions of one electron overlap integrals. In the most difficult case, where the adaptation to various well oriented CETO pairs is inevitable but as the integral is one-electron in practice one can choose any of the AB, AC, AD,... pairs or whichever conveniently related form to develop the integral transformation. That is because the 24 permutations of the four involved CETO functions leave the integral invariant, that is ... 

These results permit one to see that the same will occur when the integral of an arbitrary number of CETO products centered at arbitrary sites (Aj) is to be evaluated. Any permutation of the functions in the product will leave the integral invariant and WO-CEITO transformation rules as well as overlap integral evaluation will be sufficient to obtain this kind of integrals. These characteristics, which are also present when using GTO functions, may appear interesting when dealing with Quantum Similarity measures [66b,d]. 

Allowance for these effects could, in principle, be incorporated in any kinetic model, but the integration invariably becomes complicated and additional constants (unmeasured) may be introduced, bringing uncertainty to the interpretation.

The canonical transformations are characterised by the fact that they leave invariant the form of the equations of motion, or the stationary character of the integral [(6) of 5] expressing Hamilton s principle. This raises the question whether there are still other invariants in the case of canonical transformations. This is in fact the case, and we shall give here a series of integral invariants introduced by PoincarA1 We can show that the integral... 

First we consider a system with two degrees of freedom (N = 2). Suppose we have two closed curves yi and y2 phase space, both of which encircle a tube of trajectories generated by Hamilton s equations of motion. These curves can be at two sequential times (tj, or they can be at two sequential mappings on a Poincare map These curves are associated with domains labeled (Dj, D2), which are the projections of the closed curves upon the coordinate planes (pj, qj. Because both the mapping and the time propagation are canonical transformations, the integral invariants (J-j,. 2) are preserved (constant) in either case. There are two of them, of the form ... 

Figure 26 A schematic representation of the Poincare integral invariants for a system with three degrees of freedom. (A) The invariant is the sum of oriented areas projected onto the three possible (qi, pj) planes. (B) The invariant 2 is rhe sum of oriented volumes projected onto the three possible pj, q, pl) hyperplanes. Not shown (Liouville s theorem). Reprinted with permission from f. 119.

Similarly, it can be shown that Eq. [55] is a statement of the preservation of phase space volume under propagation by Hamilton s equations of motion, that is, Liouville s theorem. It is important to note that the Poincare integral invariants are also preserved under a canonical transformation of any kind and not just the propagation of Hamilton s equations. 

In N degrees of freedom, a hierarchy of N integral invariants exists. For an arbitrary phase space surface S with symplectic projections consisting of 2 -dimensional volumes the th member of this hierarchy is of the form... 

Let us define a surface of section for a bounded three-dimensional system such that q = q, pj > 0. For N degrees of freedom, such a surface is of dimension IN - 1 (all points on it have q = cfi and H = ) here the surface of section is four-dimensional. The three integral invariants are... 

Can modem science and technology lead to the attainment of such ambitious goals Are miniaturization and integration invariably beneficial Can complex manipulations in fact be replaced by on-chip operations How is all this to be accomplished The following sections address these questions. 

It will be noted that the procedure used in obtaining Eq. (9) is identical with that followed in obtaining the hierarchy of equations of Bogoliubov, Born and Green, Kirkwood, and Yvon. There, however, the concern is with a distribution function / of low order, referring to one or a small number of molecules, while here the system of interest is of macroscopic size. Actually Eq. (9) could have been written down immediately, since it is known to be the form of the Liouville equation in the presence of non-conservative forces. (Cf. the discussion by Whitaker on integral invariants.)... 

Integral invariants can be used to reduce the number of coordinates. The system in reduced coordinates is called the state space form of the ODE with invariants. We will give here a formal definition of a state space form and relate it to the state space form of constrained mechanical systems, which we already studied in the linear case, see Sec. 2.1. 

We pointed out earlier that for equations of motion of constrained mechanical systems written in index-1 form the position and velocity constraints form integral invariants, see (5.1.16). Thus the coordinate projection and the implicit state space method introduced in the previous section can be viewed as numerical methods for ensuring that the numerical solution satisfies these invariants. 

Note that / depends by construction on the residual r and therefore on Sq-Corresponding to the integral invariants of the index reduced system in Sec. 5.1.4, the solution of Eq. (7.3.2) has the following property...
