Lagrange multipliers functional

The presence of the Lagrange multiplier function o)(r) is fundamental in this variation, as it this multiplier that assumes the role of the effective Kohn-Sham potential ... 

The second term in Eq. (3) is, as stated at the end of Section IV, the relaxation mean of the integral I[St ] for the information-minimizing (generalized canonical) S, having the basic macroscopic functions p + t dpjdt)0, wa + t duJ0t)o, E + t(SE/dt)0. This ", may be calculated directly, but with the involvement of Lagrange multiplier functions (see below), and the same will follow for l[8F Then, to the first order,... 

On the other hand, we have the identity Sra = 0 throughout F so that SSra = 0 also. This can be written in terms of the Kronecker delta as Sap SSa 3 = 0. It introduces, according to the classical theory, a Lagrange multiplier function of (x), /(x) so the deduction from Eq. (29) is... 

Iris type of constrained minimisation problem can be tackled using the method of Lagrange nultipliers. In this approach (see Section 1.10.5 for a brief introduction to Lagrange nultipliers) the derivative of the function to be minimised is added to the derivatives of he constraint(s) multiplied by a constant called a Lagrange multiplier. The sum is then et equal to zero. If the Lagrange multiplier for each of the orthonormality conditions is... 

Equality Constrained Problems—Lagrange Multipliers Form a scalar function, called the Lagrange func tion, by adding each of the equality constraints multiplied by an arbitrary iTuiltipher to the objective func tion.

When the MFA is used in absence of the external field (J,- = 0) the Lagrange multipliers //, are assumed to give the actual density, p, known by construction. In presence of the field the MFA gives a correction Spi to the density p,. By using the linear response theory we can establish a hnear functional relation between J, and 8pi. The fields Pi r) can be expressed in term of a new field 8pi r) defined according to Pi r) = pi + 8pi + 8pi r). Now, we may perform a functional expansion of in terms of 8pi f). If this expansion is limited to a quadratic form in 8pj r) we get the following result [32]... 

So far there have not been any restrictions on the MOs used to build the determinantal trial wave function. The Slater determinant has been written in terms of spinorbitals, eq. (3.20), being products of a spatial orbital times a spin function (a or /3). If there are no restrictions on the form of the spatial orbitals, the trial function is an Unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) wave function. The term Different Orbitals for Different Spins (DODS) is also sometimes used. If the interest is in systems with an even number of electrons and a singlet type of wave function (a closed shell system), the restriction that each spatial orbital should have two electrons, one with a and one with /3 spin, is normally made. Such wave functions are known as Restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF). Open-shell systems may also be described by restricted type wave functions, where the spatial part of the doubly occupied orbitals is forced to be the same this is known as Restricted Open-shell Hartree-Fock (ROHF). For open-shell species a UHF treatment leads to well-defined orbital energies, which may be interpreted as ionization potentials. Section 3.4. For an ROHF wave function it is not possible to chose a unitary transformation which makes the matrix of Lagrange multipliers in eq. (3.40) diagonal, and orbital energies from an ROHF wave function are consequently not uniquely defined, and cannot be equated to ionization potentials by a Koopman type argument. 

This is an example of a constrained optimization, the energy should be minimized under the constraint that the total Cl wave function is normalized. Introducing a Lagrange multiplier (Section 14.6), this can be written as... 

For computational purposes it is convenient to work with canonical MOs, i.e. those which make the matrix of Lagrange multipliers diagonal, and which are eigenfunctions of the Fock operator at convergence (eq, (3.41)). This corresponds to a specific choice of a unitary transformation of the occupied MOs. Once the SCF procedure has converged, however, we may chose other sets of orbitals by forming linear combinations of the canonical MOs. The total wave function, and thus all observable properties, are independent of such a rotation of the MOs. 

The first two derivatives are zero owing to the properties of the CI and HF wave functions, eq. (10.33). The last equation is zero by virtue of the Lagrange multipliers, i.e. we choose k such that dLciJdc — 0. It may be written more explicitly as... 

The seeond term disappears since the Cl wave function is variational in the state coefficients, eq. (10.33). The three terms involving the derivative of the MO coefficients (dc/dX) also disappear owing to our choice of the Lagrange multipliers, eq. (10.36). If we furthermore adapt the definition that dH/dX = Pi (eq. (10.17)), the final derivative may be written as... 

We next find a Pf(y) that maximizes Eq. (4-189) subject to the constraints of Eqs. (4-186) and (4-187). Using the method of Lagrange multipliers, we find a stationary point with respect to Pf y) of he function... 

The constants Aj and A2 are known as Lagrange multipliers. As we have already seen two of the variables can be expressed as functions of the third variable hence, for example, dxx and dx2 can be expressed in terms of dx3, which is arbitrary. Thus Ax and A2 may be chosen so as to cause the vanishing of the coefficients of dxx and dx2 (their values are obtained by solving the two simultaneous equations). Then since dx3 is arbitrary, its coefficient must vanish in order that the entire expression shall vanish. This gives three equations that, together with the two constraint equations gt = 0 ( = 1,2), can be used to determine the five unknowns xx, x2, Xg, Xx, and A2. 

In Appendix A, we follow the derivation of Shi and Rabitz and carry out the functional variation of the objective functional [Eq. (1)] so as to obtain the equations that must be obeyed by the wave function (vl/(t)), the undetermined Lagrange multiplier (x(0)> the electric field (e(t)). Since the results discussed in Section IV.B focus on controlled excitation of H2, where molecular polarizability must be considered, the penalty term given by Eq. (3) is used and the equations that must be obeyed by these functions are (see Appendix A for a detailed derivation) ... 

Equation (4.a) states that the wave function must obey the time-dependent Schrodinger equation with initial condition /(t = 0) = < ),. Equation (4.b) states that the undetermined Lagrange multiplier, x t), must obey the time-dependent Schrodinger equation with the boundary condition that x(T) = ( /(T))<1> at the end of the pulse, that is at f = T. As this boundary condition is given at the end of the pulse, we must integrate the Schrodinger equation backward in time to find X(f). The final of the three equations, Eq. (4.c), is really an equation for the time-dependent electric field, e(f). 

The point where the constraint is satisfied, (x0,yo), may or may not belong to the data set (xj,yj) i=l,...,N. The above constrained minimization problem can be transformed into an unconstrained one by introducing the Lagrange multiplier, to and augmenting the least squares objective function to form the La-grangian,... 

The problem of minimizing Equation 14.24 subject to the constraint given by Equation 14.26 or 14.28 is transformed into an unconstrained one by introducing the Lagrange multiplier, to, and augmenting the LS objective function, SLS(k), to yield... 

The foregoing inequality constraints must be converted to equality constraints before the operation begins, and this is done by introducing a slack variable q, for each. The several equations are then combined into a Lagrange function F, and this necessitates the introduction of a Lagrange multiplier, X, for each constraint. 

With this choice of constraint functions and Lagrange multipliers, we can rewrite formula (6) and express the MaxEnt distribution of electrons as... 

In this work I choose a different constraint function. Instead of working with the charge density in real space, I prefer to work directly with the experimentally measured structure factors, Ft. These structure factors are directly related to the charge density by a Fourier transform, as will be shown in the next section. To constrain the calculated cell charge density to be the same as experiment, a Lagrange multiplier technique is used to minimise the x2 statistic,...
