Mapping formulation

For an introduction to NNs and their functionality, the reader is referred to the rich literature on the subject (e.g., Rumelhart et al, 1986 Barron and Barron, 1988). For our purposes it suffices to say that NNs represent nonlinear mappings formulated inductively from the data. In doing so, they offer potential solutions to the functional estimation problem and will be studied as such. 

Finally, we consider Model V by describing two examples of outer-sphere electron-transfer in solution. Figures 7 and 8 display results for the diabatic electronic population for Models Va and Vb, respectively. Similar to the mean-field trajectory calculations, for Model Va the SH results are in excellent agreement with the quantum calculations, while for Model Vb the SH method only is able to describe the short-time dynamics. As for the three-mode Model IVb discussed above, the SH calculations in particular predict an incorrect long-time limit for the diabatic population. The origin of this problem will be discussed in more detail in Section VI in the context of the mapping formulation. 

A value of y = 1 corresponds to the original mapping formulation, which takes into account the full amount of ZPE. If, on the other hand, all electronic ZPE is neglected (i.e., y = 0), the mapping approach becomes equivalent to the mean-field trajectory method. 

Although the classical mapping formulation yields the correct quantum-mechanical level density in the special case of a one-mode spin-boson model, the classical approximation deteriorates for mulhdimensional problems, since the classical oscillators may transfer their ZPE. As a hrst example. Fig. 21a compares Nc E) as obtained for Model I in the limiting cases y = 0 and 1 (thin solid lines) to the exact quantum-mechanical density N E) (thick line). The classical level density is seen to be either much higher (for y = 1) or much lower (for y = 0) than the quantum result. Since the integral level density can be... 

The excellent performance of the mapping formulation for this model encouraged us to consider an extended model of the benzene cation, for which no quantum reference calculations are available [227]. The model comprises 16 vibrational DoF and five coupled potential-energy surfaces, thus accounting for... 

It should be noted, however, that the limit 0 is only a formal procedure, which does not necessarily lead to a unique or correct semiclassical limit. In the case of the mapping formulation, this is because of the following reasons (i) For a given molecule, the frequencies f)mi(x) will in general also depend in a nontrivial way on h. (ii) A slowly varying term may as well be included in the stationary phase treatment [147]. (iii) As indicated by the term resulting from the commutator = 8 , the effective action constant ... 

The potential utility and biocompatibility of MAP-based adhesives have been addressed in the series of experiments presented here. MAP formulated as Cell-Tak adhesive is an efficient mediator of mammalian, bacterial, and yeast cell attachment. It has also been demonstrated to support normal cell growth in vitro. 

MAP formulated with a crosslink catalyst is capable of bonding tissue to tissue as demonstrated with corneal stroma and bonding alloplastic materials to tissues, as shown in the bonding of a hydrogel to corneal stroma. Moreover, two adhesive formulations of MAP with catechol oxidase at different ratios were shown to be biocompatible in a cell culture agar overlay system. 

In recent work [16, 17] we presented a new mixed quantum-classical method, which we call LAND-Map (Linearized approach to non-adiabatic dynamics in the mapping formulation), for calculating correlation functions. The method couples the linearization ideas put forth by various workers [18-26] with the mapping description of non-adiabatic transitions [27-31].

As Eqs. (1) and (2), and Figs. 1 and 2 explicitly reveal, it is the Platonic solids that form the basis of this mapping formulation of structures described in this paper. These forms, as shown in Fig. 3 with their appropriate polyhedral face symbolism [8], as discovered in Ancient Greece from the application of pure thought, were implicated later on in Plato s Timaeus, as...
