Numerical linear notation

Another approach for representing 2D chemical structures is the linear notation. Linear notations are strings that represent the 2D structure as a more or less complex set of characters and symbols. Characters represent the atoms in a linear manner, whereas symbols are nsed to describe information about the connectivity [3]. The most commonly nsed notations are the Wiswesser line notation (WLN) and the simpUfled molecnlar inpnt line entry specihcation (SMILES) [2]. The WLN, invented by William J. Wiswesser in the 1949, was the hrst line notation capable of precisely describing complex molecnles [4]. It consists of a series of uppercase characters (A-Z), numerals (0-9), the ampersand ( ), the hyphen (-), the oblique stroke (/), and a blank space. 

NUMERIC CODE NOTATION FOR THE MEMBERS OF LINEAR STRUCTURE SERIES... 

The numeric code notation for the intergrowth structures depends on the choice of the initial fragments In the parent structures. As a consequence of this choice, the staictures of a linear homogeneous series can be considered in two different ways. 

Both methods of numeric notation can be used for the classification of the linear homogeneous structure series. However, for the derivation of a numeric code notation for the stmctures of a linear inhomogeneous structure series we prefer the second... 

More generally, our readers need to think vectorially and to envision matrices, linear concepts, and matrix and vector notation throughout this book and, we believe, in any other project that involves numerical computations. 

Diffusion and mass transfer in multicomponent systems are described by systems of differential equations. These equations are more easily manipulated using matrix notation and concepts from linear algebra. We have chosen to include three appendices that provide the necessary background in matrix theory in order to provide the reader a convenient source of reference material. Appendix A covers linear algebra and matrix computations. Appendix B describes methods for solving systems of differential equations and Appendix C briefly reviews numerical methods for solving systems of linear and nonlinear equations. Other books cover these fields in far more depth than what follows. We have found the book by Amundson (1966) to be particularly useful as it is written with chemical engineering applications in mind. Other books we have consulted are cited at various points in the text. 

In section 5.2 the concepts of hermiticity and time-reversal where introduced in the discussion of the first order response of the wave function. In this section we shall see that these concepts allows us to determine whether the linear response function is real or imaginary. The linear response function is given by (51), but using the first-order response equation (49) it may be simplified to (54). This may reduce the precision in the numerical evaluation, but is of no consequence for the following arguments. In the notation of section 5.2 the linear response function at the closed-shell HF level of theory is accordingly written... 

Briefly, notation systems attempt to record full, multidimensional structural descriptions in a linear form, by the use of more comprehensive symbols than atoms and bonds (e.g. symbols for particular chains, rings, functional groups). Thus, more information is recorded implicitly, in Uie rides of the notation, and less is recorded explicitly in the notations for individual compounds. The rules can therefore be quite complicated, in order to ensure the notations are unique and unambiguous. For the Wiswesser Line Notation, the rules are given in Smith, E. G. The Wis-wesser Line-Formula Chemical Notation. New York McGraw-Hill 1968. In this notation, for example, saturated carbon chains are simply indicated by an arable numeral equal to the number of carbons in the chain, branch-... 

A primary objective of this work is to provide the general theoretical foundation for different perturbation theory applications in all types of nuclear systems. Consequently, general notations have been used without reference to any specific mathematical description of the transport equation used for numerical calculations. The formulation has been restricted to time-independent and linear problems. Throughout the work we describe the scope of past, and discuss the possibility for future applications of perturbation theory techniques for the analysis, design and optimization of fission reactors, fusion reactors, radiation shields, and other deep-penetration problems. This review concentrates on developments subsequent to Lewins review (7) published in 1968. The literature search covers the period ending Fall 1974. 

An array is a multidimensional (not linear) data structure. An appointment schedule for the business week, hour by hour and day by day, is an example of an array. A mathematical function can generate data for an array structure. For example, the four-dimensional array shown in Table I (with entries in exponential notation) was obtained by substituting numeric values for x, y, w, and z in the expression ... 

The radial part R i(r) of cancels out in Eqs. 2.6 and 2.7, because and operate only on 9 and 0.) This implies that the orbital angular momentum quantities and are constants of the motion in stationary state with values /(/ -I- l)h and mh, respectively. A common notation for one-electron orbitals combines the principal quantum number n with the letter s, p, d, or/ for orbitals with 1 = 0, 1, 2, and 3, respectively. (This notation is a vestige of the nomenclature sharp, principal, diffuse, and fundamental for the emission series observed in alkali atoms, as shown for K in Fig. 2.2.) An orbital with n = 2,1 = 0 is called a 2s orbital, one with n = 4, / = 3 a 4/ orbital, and so on. Numerical subscripts are occasionally added to indicate the pertinent m value the 2po orbital exhibits n = 2, I = i, and m = 0. Chemists frequently work with real (rather than complex) orbitals which transform as Cartesian vector (or tensor) components. A normalized 2p, orbital is the linear combination... 

Extrapolation is an old technique in numerical analysis invented by Richardson in 1927 [23]. Generally it makes use of known error orders to increase accuracy. In the present context, its application is based on the first-order method BI, mentioned above. One defines a notation in terms of operations L on the variable y(t), the operation being that of taking a step forward in time. Thus, the notation L y t), or simply L y , means a single step of one interval (the 1 being indicated by the subscript on L). The simplest variant consists of two steps an application of operation L on y and as a second step two operations, L[j2, that is, two consecutive steps of half 8t (again starting the first from y ), and finally a linear combination of the two results ... 

In addition to the x notation, other coefficients encountered are the rand c/tensors. These are an alternative to the x tensor, and differ in the factors involving the medium refractive index and simple numerical factors. The r tensor describes the linear electro-optic effect where the changes in refractive index are related to by... 

The next seetion will diseuss general numerical operations performed using matrix notation and diseuss the development of a set of eoded routines for matrix manipulation. These approaehes builds upon the solution teehniques developed for solving linear equations in Section 4.1. 

In Section 4.1 the matrix notation was first introduced for writing a set of linear equations. However, the discussion there rapidly moved to a discussion of linear equations and the solution techniques developed were based upon Gauss elimination teehniques and did not direetly use matrix manipulation techniques. For a number of engineering problems the manipulation of matrix equations is the most eonvenient approaeh so this seetion will discuss and develop some numerical techniques for direct matrix manipulation. Going back to the matrix formulation of a set of linear equations (as Eq. (4.5)) one has ...
