N gaussians

In fact, we have already used a modeling strategy when Po(AU) was approximated as a Gaussian. This led to the second-order perturbation theory, which is only of limited accuracy. A simple extension of this approach is to represent Pq(AU) as a linear combination of n Gaussian functions, p, (AU), with different mean values and variances [40]... 

For small overlap a virial expansion holds. For large overlap screening suggests that Ry(n, c j is proportional to n (Gaussian chain behavior). Thus... 

The notation n-klG means each inner shell is represented by a single basis function taken as a sum of n Gaussians while each valence orbital is split into inner and outer parts described by k and 1 Gaussians, respectively. Asterisks indicate additional polarization functions. For full description see 3-21G 114) 4-31G ns, ns). 5 2iG 117) 6-21G IU> 6-31G 117, 6-31G and 6-31G ll8 . For 6G3G see 18 ...

To overcome this problem, we have designed a novel combined scheme that efficiently accounts for bilayer deformations together with the electrostatic PB solution self-consistently [27]. Our strategy is based on representing the membrane interface shape (contour) as a linear superposition of N Gaussian functions (used here as a basis set) centered at different locations on the surface of the membrane. In this manner, we can approximate the local membrane height h(x,y) at any point (x. y) by the following sum [27] ... 

In order to circumvent this N problem, a computational device has been designed [16]. In this method, the electronic first order density function is approximated by a linear combination of N Gaussian function set F(r) =... 

When calculating the wavefunction it is important to make a choice of basis set J. t that is suitable for the available computing power and the accuracy desired. A straightforward early approach to basis set construction was to fit an accurate Slater-type atomic orbital (STO) with n gaussians,called STO- G. The quality of STO- G wavefunctions increases as n increases. It was determined that = 3 was a good starting point, and the STO-3G basis set has been widely used, particularly where computing resources were limited or for lai er molecules. 

We consider a set of N Gaussian chains. Each chain is labelled with an index j, with j = 1,..., IV. It will be assumed that all chains have the same number N of links and that the vector position of a point belonging to a chain j is denoted by the function ij(n) with 0 < n < N,... 

The Gaussian representation, of the numerical radial wave functions in atoms, is at the heart of modem molecular orbital theory. The different formulations are known as basis sets and the most common and proven basis sets are included in the various packages for molecular orbital theory calculations. In this book, the symbol sto-ng) identifies a linear combination of n Gaussian orbitals used, in the present context, to model the corresponding Slater function. 

From Chapter 1, we know that the probability for the end-to-end vector to be R in a Gaussian chain with N Gaussian (or Rouse) segments is given by...

We give a short outline of the theory of the mesoscopic dynamics algorithms. For more details see [11]. We consider a system of n Gaussian chains of N beads of several different species (for example,...

If, for instance, p = s = 0 and = 1, the GTO corresponds to the function Py. The minimal orbital basis set in which N Gaussian functions are used to approximate one Slater function is designated as the STO-NG basis set. Usually one sets N = 3, seeing that with the further increase the accuracy improves very slowly. 

The basis functions used in the calculation of MOs are these linear combinations of n Gaussian functions. The mixing of the Gaussians is controlled by the contraction coefficients dp, which are determined as part of the basis set parameterization. 

Consider a solvent containing N Gaussian chains where the equations of motion of the chains and the solvent are coupled by the no-slip boundary condition... 

The numerical coefficient 7.16 is much larger than Flory s value of 2.60 from his slightly more complicated treatment, as it depends on different assumptions made in the derivations. Other variations on the method le.g. use of a more accurate sum of n Gaussian functions for p(s)] lead to still other values for the coefficient. Given the arbitrariness of the assumptions, no great significance can be attached to the numerical value, and it seems reasonable to follow a recommendation of Stockmayer and let...
