Internal optimization

Transactions can also be combined. For instance, batch signing combines several authentications. If this should be visible at the interface, inputs sign with several messages as parameters are needed. (Instead, it could be regarded as an internal optimization, but not with the simple model of time chosen here.)... 

Depending on the acidity of the blood (which means the presence of H+ ions from other sources), more H+ ions or less H+ ions may be released from carbonic acid. The more acidic the blood, the more H+ ions that are present, and the more the reaction will be driven back to the undissociated H2CO3 form. Thus, this chemical acts to oppose large changes in acidity levels, and internal optimal conditions are maintained.

Relatively strong adsorbate-adsorbate interactions have a different effect the adsorbates attempt to first optimize the bonding between them, before trying to satisfy their bonding to the substrate. This typically results in close-packed overlayers with an internal periodicity that it is not matched, or at least is poorly matched, to the substrate lattice. One thus finds well ordered overlayers whose periodicity is generally not closely related to the substrate lattice tiiis leads... 

In this way the optimization can be cast m temis of the original coordinate set, including the redundancies. Exactly the same transfomiations between Cartesian and internal coordinate quantities hold as for the non-redundant case (see the next section), but with the generalized inverse replacing the regular inverse. 

The redundant optimization scheme [53] can be applied to natural internal coordinates, which are sometimes redundant for polycyclic and cage compounds. It can also be applied directly to the underlying primitives.

This section deals with the transfonnation of coordinates and forces [U, 47] between different coordinate systems. In particular, we will consider the transfonnation between Cartesian coordinates, in which the geometry is ultimately specified and the forces are calculated, and internal coordmates which allow efficient optimization. 

Constrained optimization refers to optimizations in which one or more variables (usually some internal parameter such as a bond distance or angle) are kept fixed. The best way to deal with constraints is by elimination, i.e., simply remove the constrained variable from the optimization space. Internal constraints have typically been handled in quantum chemistry by using Z matrices if a Z matrix can be constructed which contains all the desired constraints as individual Z-matrix variables, then it is straightforward to carry out a constrained optimization by elunination. 

The situation is more complicated in molecular mechanics optimizations, which use Cartesian coordinates. Internal constraints are now relatively complicated, nonlinear functions of the coordinates, e.g., a distance constraint between atoms andJ in the system is — AjI" + (Vj — + ( , - and this... 

By combining the Lagrange multiplier method with the highly efficient delocalized internal coordinates, a very powerfiil algoritlun for constrained optimization has been developed [ ]. Given that delocalized internal coordinates are potentially linear combinations of all possible primitive stretches, bends and torsions in the system, cf Z-matrix coordinates which are individual primitives, it would seem very difficult to impose any constraints at all however, as...
