We will come to the form of the interaction potential employed in the next section given the appropriate form, the coupled equations (10.165) were solved by a numerical method due to Johnson [218] and described by Hutson [217]. For most states the coupled equations were solved for intemuclear distances up to 25 A, and the energies of the levels converged to 2 MHz. A computer program for interactive nonlinear least squares fitting of the parameters to the observed transition frequencies has been described by Law and Hutson [219]. 

A method for extracting kinetic and optical parameters from progress curves for protein hgand association, obtained by stopped-flow experiments, was described by Antosiewicz et al. The method is limited to one-step and two-step association kinetics, but it allows concentration of protein and offset of the signals to be adjustable parameters during an interactive nonlinear least-squares fitting procedure. The method was tested on simulated pseudo-experimental data and applied to progress curves obtained in a stopped-flow spectrofluorimeter. 

Until the mid-eighties it was generally accepted that the STGLE was a reasonable representation of the dynamics which allowed for dynamically induced corrections to the rate predicted by the TST method. Kramers theory was considered to be complementary but essentially different from TST. It was well understood that the STGLE is a continuum limit of a Hamiltonian in which the solute interacts nonlinearly with a harmonic bath... 

Although the preceding example illustrates the basic principles involved, the actual attainment of airtomatic control of almost any industrial process or other complicated device will usually be much more difficult because of the speed of response, multivariable interaction, nonlinearity, response fimitations, or other difficulties that may be present, as well as the much higher accuracy or degree of control that is usually desired beyond that required for the simple process just mentioned. 

In the following, the VALBOND-TRANS force field is parametrized for model octahedral complexes of Ir, with the aim to best capture relative energies calculated from DPT for different diastereomers. The (re-)parametrization of VALBOND-TRANS is important for successful use in further atomistic simulations. The fitting procedure can be conveniently carried out by using a recent combination of CHARMM and the I-NoLLS fitting environment [79, 80]. This parameter optimization environment can carry out interactive nonlinear least-square fittings to determine model parameters for a wide variety of applications.

In the context of design and control interaction, nonlinearity measures are powerful tools to assess different process designs as they deliver the important information which of a set of given process designs is favorable with respect to operation with linear controllers. 

The underlying notion in bilinear modeling is that something causes the systematic variabilities in the X data. But we may not correctly know what it is there may be surprises in the data due to unexpected interferents, chemical interactions, nonlinear responses, etc. An approximate model of the subspace spanned by these phenomena in X is created. This X model is used for stabilizing the calibration modeling. The PLS regression primarily models the most dominant and most y-relevant of these X phenomena. Thus neither the manifest measured variables nor our causal assumptions about physical laws are taken for granted. Instead we tentatively look for systematic patterns in the data, and if they seem reasonable, we use them in the final calibration model.

Once the forms of the possible solutions have been obtained, we may take into account the second degeneracy related to the existence of the sidebands of modes that also interact nonlinearly with the critical modes. Therefore one could generalize Equation (14) and write for each term of the sum over index i an infinite sum over the contributions from all wavevectors lying in the sidebands... 

Marlow and Rowell discuss the deviation from Eq. V-47 when electrostatic and hydrodynamic interactions between the particles must be considered [78]. In a suspension of glass spheres, beyond a volume fraction of 0.018, these interparticle forces cause nonlinearities in Eq. V-47, diminishing the induced potential E. 

For the interaction between a nonlinear molecule and an atom, one can place the coordinate system at the centre of mass of the molecule so that the PES is a fiinction of tlie three spherical polar coordinates needed to specify the location of the atom. If the molecule is linear, V does not depend on <() and the PES is a fiinction of only two variables. In the general case of two nonlinear molecules, the interaction energy depends on the distance between the centres of mass, and five of the six Euler angles needed to specify the relative orientation of the molecular axes with respect to the global or space-fixed coordinate axes. 

This section begins with a brief description of the basic light-molecule interaction. As already indicated, coherent light pulses excite coherent superpositions of molecular eigenstates, known as wavepackets , and we will give a description of their motion, their coherence properties, and their interplay with the light. Then we will turn to linear and nonlinear spectroscopy, and, finally, to a brief account of coherent control of molecular motion. 

As described at the end of section Al.6.1. in nonlinear spectroscopy a polarization is created in the material which depends in a nonlinear way on the strength of the electric field. As we shall now see, the microscopic description of this nonlinear polarization involves multiple interactions of the material with the electric field. The multiple interactions in principle contain infomiation on both the ground electronic state and excited electronic state dynamics, and for a molecule in the presence of solvent, infomiation on the molecule-solvent interactions. Excellent general introductions to nonlinear spectroscopy may be found in [35, 36 and 37]. Raman spectroscopy, described at the end of the previous section, is also a nonlinear spectroscopy, in the sense that it involves more than one interaction of light with the material, but it is a pathological example since the second interaction is tlirough spontaneous emission and therefore not proportional to a driving field...

The high-field output of laser devices allows for a wide variety of nonlinear interactions [17] between tire radiation field and tire matter. Many of tire initial relationships can be derived using engineering principles by simply expanding tire media polarizability in a Taylor series in powers of tire electric field ... 

Now, we examine the effect of vibronic interactions on the two adiabatic potential energy surfaces of nonlinear molecules that belong to a degenerate electronic state, so-called static Jahn-Teller effect.
