Linear equations perturbations

The Rayleigh-Schrodinger Perturbation Theory (see [2]) leads then to the following system of linear equations for the determination of cj (j=l,. ..M) ... 

The calculations of the and c constants lead to a system of linear equations similar to that of the SCF-CI method, but with three more lines and columns corresponding to the coupling of the polynomial function with the electric field perturbation. The methodology and computational details have already been discussed (1) we stress two points the role of the dipolar factor, the nature and the number of the exeited states to inelude in the summation. 

Thus, the lattice isotropy permits a straightforward relation between the perturbed and the unperturbed GF which is obtained without solving the system of linear equations (A1.72) in the general case ... 

Both of the above greatly simplify the linearized equations. For example, if the perturbations in velocity and liquid height are used in Eq. (6.25), we get... 

Since we will be using perturbation variables most of the time, we will often not bother to use the superscript p. It will be understood that whenever we write the linearized equations for the system all variables will be perturbation variables. Thus Eqs. (6.39) and (6.41) can be written... 

Consider a steady-state solution (XsT s). This solution is stable if the system will return to it following a small perturbation away from it. To decide this, we lineaiize the equations about the steady state and examine the stability of the linear equations. First we subtract the steady-state version of these equations from the transient equations to obtain... 

The stability of x t) is determined by whether the solution wiU return back to Xg, yg following a perturbation. This will occur if the solutions x are stable, and this requires that the real part of A. be negative. This can also be regarded as a problem of finding the eigenvalues of the matrix [ j] from the Jacobean of the original linear equations. Solutions of x t) can be as shown in Figure 6-5. This pair of equations is stable if [(a 8) + 4 y] > 0 (A real). When we insert coefficients a, defined,... 

Detonation, Nonlinear Theory of Unstable One-Dimensional. J.J. Erpenbeck describes in PhysFluids 10(2), 274-89(1969) CA 66, 8180-R(1967) a method for calcg the behavior of 1-dimensional detonations whose steady solns are hydrodynamic ally unstable. This method is based on a perturbation technique that treats the nonlinear terms in the hydro-dynamic equations as perturbations to the linear equations of hydrodynamic-stability theory. Detailed calcns are presented for several ideal-gas unimol-reaction cases for which the predicted oscillations agree reasonably well with those obtd by numerical integration of the hydrodynamic equations, as reported by W. Fickett W.W. Wood, PhysFluids 9(5), 903-16(1966) CA 65,... 

Introducing the perturbations a = ass + Aa and P = fiss + A/ into eqns (9.18) and (9.19) we obtain, at leading order, a pair of linear equations for Aa and A/l. The solutions of these forms are infinite sums of exponential terms ... 

This linear equation for 80 can easily be solved when 0(t) is known. It is called the linearized or variational equation associated with (3.1). When it turns out that the solutions of (3.5) tend to zero as x->oo it follows that this particular solution 0(t) of (3.1) is stable for small perturbations, or locally stable . Clearly (3.5) cannot tell anything about global stability, i.e., the effect of large perturbations. One can only conclude from the local stability that 0(t) has a certain domain of attraction every solution starting inside this domain will tend to 0(t) for large t. In this chapter, however, we postulate (3.4), which guarantees global stability. 

The strategy is as follows. We start by rewriting the equations in cylindrical coordinates (r, ,z). The variables we consider are the layer displacement u (now in the radial direction) from the cylindrical state, the director n, and the fluid velocity v. The central part of the cylinder, r < Ri, containing a line defect, is not included. It is not expected to be relevant for the shear-induced instability. We write down linearized equations for layer displacement, director, and velocity perturbations for a multilamellar (smectic) cylinder oriented in the flow direction (z axis). We are interested in perturbations with the wave vector in the z direction as this is the relevant direction for the hypothetical break-up of the cylinder into onions. The unperturbed configuration in the presence of shear flow (the ground state) depends on r and 0 and is determined numerically. The perturbations, of course, depend on all three coordinates. We take into account translational symmetry of the ground state in the z direction and use a plane wave ansatz in that direction. Thus, our ansatze for the perturbed variables are... 

Next, we have to solve for the Yj s from the species continuity equations, Equation (32). Unfortunately, these equations cannot be integrated by a similar simple point iteration scheme as they are mathematically "stiff"16 and iterative approaches are unstable. To solve these simultaneous equations, we turn to a perturbation analysis developed by Newman17 where the equations are linearized about an initial guess, and the resulting linear equations are solved numerically. The solution is then used as the next guess, and the linear equations are resolved. The procedure is repeated until the solution no longer changes. 

This is a system of inhomogeneous linear equations for the functions (vectors) T m ) (the mixed notation for the perturbation corrections to eigenvalues and eigenvectors is used above). The 0-th order in A yields the unperturbed problem and thus is satisfied automatically. The others can be solved one by one. For this end we multiply the equation for the first order function by the zeroth-order wave function and integrate which yields ... 

After expanding the cubic and quadratic binomial, we have the linearized equation in terms of perturbation x and the stationary solution Xs... 

Substituting Eq. (13.36) into Eqs. (13.33) and (13.34), and considering only the first-order terms in the perturbations, we have the following linearized equations... 

By putting T == T -f Re ATc " and linearizing equation (56) about T (under the assumption that AT < T), we may readily derive the perturbation equation... 

By the definition of the steady-state condition, the first terms on the right-hand side are zero and provided the first-order partial derivative terms do not all vanish, we can ignore the additional terms which are second-order in the perturbations. Thus, we obtain a pair of linear equations for the evolution of these perturbations in the vicinity of the steady-state point... 

The complete set of necessary and sufficient conditions for stability, as first given by Amundson in 1955, is derived in a rather different way. The basic idea is to focus attention on small perturbations away from a given steady state. If they are sufficiently small, they can be described by linear equations and we shall be able to see just how they grow or die away. It can be proved that this establishes local stability, in the sense that sufficiently small perturbations will certainly die out. It does not say anything... 

Therefore, m solutions of linear equations (with a perturbation-dependent vector like W on the right-hand side) can replace the 0 m ) solutions for Note that the situation, though similar, is not completely analogous to the case of the (2n -I- 1) rule. 

The estimated radius of convergence of each series is indicated in the final rows of Tables 4-6 and they would appear to agree well with the behaviour of the actual numerical energy values obtained from summation of the perturbation series. From Table 9 it seems that a is (slowly) approaching 0.5 as i increases. If we choose a = 0.5 and solve 2 linear equations for A.o 2 and A.r we find very little difference from the results in Table 9 for example, for i = 50 we obtain Ao 2 = 36.49 with a = 0.5 as opposed to Ao 2 = 36.45 with a = 0.53, so it would appear that Eis(A) has a square root branch point close to A. = 6.04. Other series Eni(X) also behave in a similar manner, with square root branch points, which would appear to be a general feature of perturbation theory expansions for linear operators [42],... 

As a freely ionic, monomeric species, the silyl anion may undergo pyramidal inversion about the silicon center (equation 1). For the parent system H3Si , Nimlos and Ellison have obtained quantitative information about the inversion barrier from the photoelectron spectrum in the gas phase2. The photoelectron spectrum could be simulated by a model of the vibrational frequency as a linear oscillator perturbed by a Gaussian barrier. The out-of-plane angle (the deviation of one H from the plane defined by Si and the other two Hs) was found to be 32 2° and the barrier to inversion 9000 2000 cm 1 (26 6 kcal mol-1). This is the only experimental measurement to date of the barrier to inversion about trivalent, negative silicon. The anion was produced by reaction of silane (SiH4) with ammonia, and the photoelectron spectrum of the m/z 31 peak was then recorded. 

Searby and Rochwerger [9] developed a model describing the effect of an acoustic field on the stability of a laminar, premixed flame, treated as a thin interface between two fluids of different densities and under the influence of a periodic gravitational field. Their model is an extension of the work by Markstein [8] and is consistent with the more recent flame theory of Clavin and Garcia-Ybarra [16]. Bychkov [17] later solved the problem analytically, presenting the following linear equation for the perturbation amplitude, /, of a flame under the influence of an acoustic field [17] ... 

The basis 0 need not be represented by the remaining eigenfunctions of the unperturbed Hamiltonian, which is fairly advantageous. As a result, the summation over an infinite number of states (eigenfunctions of the imperturbed Hamiltonian) is replaced with a solution of a system of an infinite number of linear equations. The energy of the perturbed state up to the second-order correction... 

We can differentiate these deviation variables to see that they also satisfy Equation 6.41. Substituting the Taylor series expansion for fi,/2 and neglecting the higher-order terms, which are valid when the perturbations are small, produce the following approximate linear equations for the deviation variables...
