Kronecker

Flere 5. = 1 (0) is the Kronecker delta for/= (f ) and /r. is the wavenumber for the collision, related to the initial relative centre of mass translational energy. before tlie collision... 

Vhen used in this context, the Kronecker delta can be taken to have a value of 1 if m equals n nd zero otherwise. Wavefunctions that are both orthogonal and normalised are said to be rthonormal. 

The unit second-order tensor is the Kronecker delta, S, whose components are given as the following matrix... 

To simplify the formulae below we assume that Cijki = SlSf, 5 is the Kronecker symbol. Nevertheless, all the results obtained in the section are valid in the general case (5.74).

The matrix J reduces to a Kronecker 8 in the angular momentum labels for p = j. The host wave function coefficients being known, the alloy wave function coefficients can now be calculated. The result for is [27]... 

The time evolution of an arbitrary density pt=o x) may be obtained from equation 4.80 as follows. The Kronecker-delta function, 6 x — xq), evolves into the function 6 x — f xo)) after one step. Rewriting this in the form... 

In order to improve upon the mean-field approximation given in equation 7.112, we must somehow account for possible site-site correlations. Let us go back to the deterministic version of the basic Life rule (equation 7.110). We could take a formal expectation of this equation but we first need a way to compute expectation values of Kronecker delta functions. Schulman and Seiden [schul78] provide a simple means to do precisely that. We state their result without proof...
