Lagrange’s theorem

If the student is at all curious, Todhunter, or Williamson on Lagrange s Theorem on the Limits of Taylor s Series, is always available,... 

Just as Maclaurin s theorem is a special case of Taylor s, so the latter is a special form of the more general Lagrange s theorem, and the latter, in turn, a special form of Laplace s theorem. There is no need for me to enter into extended details, but I shall have something to say about Lagrange s theorem. 

The fermion irreps are 1/2 and -1/2, some of the representation matrices are complex, and we have case 2. Note that although the irreps are one-dimensional (in accordance with Lagrange s theorem), they are labeled in recognition of the equivalence between them together they form an 1/2 rep.

This is a statement of Brillouin s theorem [37], that (a H i) = 0, i < N < a is a necessary condition for (4> 7/ d>) to be stationary. The normalization of occupied variables must also be varied in order to determine the Lagrange multipliers c,. Definition of the effective Hamiltonian H requires diagonal matrix elements determined by SE/niScj) for unconstrained variations 8(p,. 

Noether proved a theorem subsequently known as Noether s theorem, which assures the conservation laws of energy and momentum from the Euler-Lagrange equation with the uniformities of time and space, respectively (Noether 1918). First, from the uniformity of time, the Lagrangian of independent particle systems does not explicitly depend on time. The total differentiation of the Lagrangian is therefore... 

Liouville theorem and related forms The Helmholtz-Lagrange relation given in equ. (4.46) is related to many other forms which all state certain conservation laws (the Clausius theorem, Abbe s relation, the Liouville theorem). The most important one in the present context is the Liouville theorem [Lio38] which describes the invariance of the volume in phase space. The content of this theorem will be discussed and represented finally in a slightly different form which allows a new access to the luminosity introduced in equ. (4.14). 

Hurley proposed a simple, sufficient condition for the applicability of the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. " If within a variational framework, the family of trial functions is invariant to changes in parameter a, then the Hellmann-Feynman theorem is satisfied by the optimum trial function. In variational approaches involving Lagrange multipliers, for example, in the Hartree-Fock and multiconfigurational self-consistent field methods, Hurley s condition is fulfilled. ... 

In this section, we develop the basic optimum theorem in the Lagrangian form, to include the cases where the allowable variations of the control variables are limited. In a later section, we shall introduce Pontryagin s treatment of cases where the state variables are similarly limited to make the distinetion clear, we shall refer to constraints on the control variables but restraints on the state variables. In the next section, the Lagrange formulation will be converted to the Hamilton form.
