N- factorial

The 1 operator is the identity, while Py generates all possible permutations of two electron coordinates, Pyi all possible permutations of three electron coordinates etc. It may be shown that the antisymmetrizing operator A commutes with H, and that A acting twice gives the same as A acting once, multiplied by the square root of N factorial. 

Complete Cl, or full Cl, is configuration interaction with a configuration list which includes all possible configurations of proper spin and space symmetry in the chosen orbital space. As has been mentioned previously, the number of configurations in complete Cl will depend in an n-factorial way on the number of electrons and the number of orbitals and it will therefore quickly become too large to be handled. This method is therefore not very well suited as a standard model to solve quantum chemical problems. There are, however, two situations where an efficient complete Cl method is useful to have. The first of these is in connection with the CASSCF method which has been described in another chapter. The other is in connection with bench mark tests. Since any other Cl method selects configurations after some principle, a comparison to complete Cl is the way to check these principles out. We will therefore in this section briefly outline the main steps in the complete Cl method as it is carried out today. 

Problem 20,20. The number of constitutional isomers (i.e., different amino acid sequences) for peptides containing one each of n different amino acids is n (n factorial). What is the number of isomers for peptides containing one each of four different amino acids Of 10 different amino acids ... 

An analytic expression for can be derived from the following considerations. The number of ways of arranging n objects in n locations is just n factorial. For example, given a men and b women, the total equals n people. No distinction is made as to individuals, thus... 

The notation n, called n factorial, is mathematical shorthand for the result of multiplying n by all the numbers between it and zero. 

Memory tests cannot be specified to test each part 100% as a RAM can contain any one of 2 different data patterns and can be addressed in N factorial (N ) address sequences without using the same address twice. Test times shown may be extremely long for some high-density memory devices a GALPAT test for a 4 M DRAM would take 106 days to execute. It is easy to see how impractical it is to overspecify device testing. Any test plan should be developed along with the suppher of the memory devices you are to purchase. 

The notation N, called N factorial, denotes the product of the integers from one to N ... 

It should be noted that expression (1.5.2) is not purely classical, since it contains two remnants of quantum-mechanical origin the Planck constant h and the N factorial. Therefore, Q defined in (1.5.2) is actually the classical limit of the quantum-mechanical PF in (1.5.1). The purely classical PF consists of the integral expression on the rhs of (1.5.2) without the factor This PF failed to produce the correct form of the... 

However, this doesn t account for the fact that the individual molecules in the system are indistinguishable at the macroscopic level. Recall the examples of the balls in boxes at the beginning of Chapter 17. We found that there were fewer possible unique arrangements when the two balls were the same color. Another way to consider this is that there will be fewer possible arrangements if we cannot tell which gas molecules are which that is, if they are indistinguishable. (We do know, however, that the molecules are the same compound. We just can t tell, say, one molecule of water apart from any other molecule of water in our system.) Similarly, the above expression for is overvalued. Statistics can show that the value is too high by a multiplicative factor of N N factorial). N, recall, is the...
