Leading unstable invariant

Although unstable, this periodic orbit is an example of classical motion which leaves the molecule bounded. Other periodic and nonperiodic trajectories of this kind may exist at higher energies. The set of all the trajectories of a given energy shell that do not lead to dissociation under either forwarder backward-time propagation is invariant under the classical flow. When all trajectories belonging to this invariant set are unstable, the set is called the repeller [19, 33, 35, 48]. There also exist trajectories that approach the repeller in the future but dissociate in the past, which form the stable manifolds of the repeller Reciprocally, the trajectories that approach the... 

It is, therefore, to be expected that a compound such as trimethyl-methylene stiborane, (CHs SbCtE, should be relatively unstable and attempts to synthesize this species would have to be carried out at low temperature. Another difficulty arises from the experimental fact (104) that all conventional methods of synthesis for stibonium ylides lead to pentaalkylstiboranes instead of ylides (see Introduction). Thus mcthyl-ation of (CH3)4SbX or (CHY) sHbX2 halides by organometallic reagents of lithium, magnesium, aluminum, or zinc invariably yield (CHY) 5Sb as the sole product. 

In order to make more direct correspondence between tangency and global changes in the dynamical behavior, we propose to use different methods to characterize chaos. The first one focuses attention on how normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds are connected with each other by their stable and unstable manifolds. Then, crisis would lead to a transition in their connections. The second one is to characterize chaos based on how unstable manifolds are folded as they approach normally hyperbolic invariant manifolds. Then, crisis would manifest itself as a change in their folding patterns. Let us explain these ideas in more detail. 

Amplitudes of density fluctuations at different wavelengths follow independent Gaussian (also called normal) statistics (see Sect. 9.3.6, Chap. 9, Vol. 1), and their mean spectral power is distributed in an almost scale-invariant manner, described above. The absolute normalization was determined by the COBE satellite to be 1 part in 100,000. Their evolution can be analyzed initially with the help of the linearized gravitational equations. The classical analysis, originally performed by Jeans (1902), leads to the conclusion that fluctuations above the Jeans-scale are unstable and they are at the origin of the formation of the oldest structures (for a modern textbook on the subject, see Peacock 1999). 

The only oxidation state of importance In aqueous solution Is the +2 state. Compounds of the +4 plumbic Ion are well known but are Invariably unstable or Insoluble in aqueous solution. Due to the dominant stability of the +2 state In aqueous solution oxidation -reduction reactions are of minor Importance In lead separations and determinations. The notable exceptions are anodic oj ldatlon to the dioxide and reduction to the metal either cathodloally or by Internal electrodeposltlon. 111000 reactions have been used for the separation and determination of lead and are dlsoussed In detail In section IV-10 of this report. 

The plant had 3 storage tanks for methyl isocyanate (MIC), an unstable liquid that decomposes into a range of toxic components as its temperature rises above 15° C. Most deadly of these is hydrocyanide acid or cyanide gas, which when inhaled invariably leads to death in a very short time. 

The unstable manifold Wq is composed of the saddle point itself and two trajectories Fi 2 that come from O as t —> +oo. The stable manifold W is two-dimensional. The leading stable direction in Wq is given by the eigenvector corresponding to the smallest negative characteristic root. In our case, this is Ai = —6, and the corresponding eigenvector is (0,0,1). Note that there is an invariant line x = y = 0 in Wq. ...
