Matrix computational tools

Rules of matrix algebra can be appHed to the manipulation and interpretation of data in this type of matrix format. One of the most basic operations that can be performed is to plot the samples in variable-by-variable plots. When the number of variables is as small as two then it is a simple and familiar matter to constmct and analyze the plot. But if the number of variables exceeds two or three, it is obviously impractical to try to interpret the data using simple bivariate plots. Pattern recognition provides computer tools far superior to bivariate plots for understanding the data stmcture in the //-dimensional vector space. 

This projection/annihilation approach is probably more useful as an analytical tool, for annihilating the principal spin contaminants from a wave function by hand calculation, for example, than as a computational tool. There is a vast body of literature (see, for example, Pauncz [18]) on generating spin eigenfunctions as linear combinations of Slater determinants, from explicitly precomputed Sanibel coefficients to diagonalizing the matrix of S. However, there are other methods that exploit the group theoretical structure of the problem more effectively, and we shall now turn to these. 

We shall use the T-/ -isomorphism that allows us to consider the orbital triplet T2 as a state possessing the fictitious orbital angular momentum L = 1, keeping in mind that the matrix elements of the angular momentum operator L within T2 and P bases are of the opposite signs, L(T2) = —L(P) [2]. As it was shown in our recent paper [10] this approach provides both an efficient computational tool and a clear insight on the magnetic anisotropy of the system that appears due to the orbital contributions. Within T-P formalism the spin-orbital and Zeeman terms can be represented as ... 

The above procedure constitutes a computational tool for obtaining the spectrum of the evolution matrix UM = c +m+i i0 through diagonalization in the Schrodinger basis ( n). This procedure works optimally if the signal... 

In concluding this subsection, we note that the main purpose of the double-commutator approach is to provide a method, wherein one can evaluate the matrix element Lrs and A in (2.83) with the theory and computational tools available and then determine the approximate eigenvalues v without reference to the Hamiltonian formalism, i.e., without using the formula v = Ef - E, which contains the difference between two large numbers. In this connection, it may be of value to observe the validity of the relation (2.50) in the reverse order, i.e., / = /2 = /1, which implies that it is possible to evaluate the approximate eigenvalues / in the ordinary formalism based on (2.8) in terms of the quantity /, defined by (1.53) in the double-commutator formalism. It should also be observed that, if the original basis in the wave function space is built up from... 

The singular value decomposition (SVD) method, and the similar principal component analysis method, are powerful computational tools for parametric sensitivity analysis of the collective effects of a group of model parameters on a group of simulated properties. The SVD method is based on an elegant theorem of linear algebra. The theorem states that one can represent an w X n matrix M by a product of three matrices ... 

Electron magnetic resonance in the time domain has been greatly facilitated by the introduction of novel resonance structures and better computational tools, such as the increasingly widespread use of density-matrix formalism. This second volume in our series, devoted both to instrumentation and computation, addresses applications and advances in the analysis of spin relaxation time measiuements.

Much of the machinery for successful refinement of bio-molecular structures from NMR data is now in place. It remains to be seen how much the quality of NMR structures can be further improved by the implementation of relaxation matrix refinement or other procedures discussed above. At the very least, iterative NOE refinement protocols are desirable as aids in eliminating errors or over-interpretations in distance constraints. However, many problems remain to be solved, particularly with regard to conformational heterogeneity and from variable order parameters arising from internal motion. Considerable work will be required before these methods can be applied routinely to NMR structure determination. Further progress in developing methods to asses the accuracy and precision of NMR structures will rest upon careful data collection procedures, theoretical analyses of the connection between structure, dynamics and cross-relaxation rates, and the development of improved computational tools to tie these together.
