Orthogonal projection operator

The reduction schemes used by Tang et al. [20] to define the surrogate fewer state system follows the method proposed by Shore [62]. The scheme has a compact form when we introduce two orthogonal projection operators P and Q and work in the frequency domain instead of the time domain. The time evolution matrix for the n-state system dynamics, U(f). and its Fourier transform, G(w), satisfy the following equations ... 

Let us note that the Coulomb and exchange potentials do not introduce any new singular terms and that the strong-orthogonality projection operator, 2(l,2) does not modify the high-Z terms. Hence, we arrive at the conclusion that in the electron coalescence region Eqs. (9) and (20) disclose the same singular structure. 

The first one is associated with the so-called intermediate normalization and the second one means that n is a non-orthogonal projection operator. From O one can obtain the expression for the projector P ... 

The partitioning of the vector pt) corresponding to the density operator p t) of some system into a relevant part, denoted by pf), and an irrelevant part, denoted by l/o/), can be accomphshed by introducing the orthogonal projection operators P and Q possessing the properties P-b 0 =P = P, Q = Q,miPQ = 0P = O,... 

As in the Zwanzig approach to nonequilibrium processes, we partition the vector pt) correspondtag to the density operator p t) of some system into relevant and irrelevant parts by using orthogonal projection operators. However, the projection operators P t) and Q t) used to accomplish this task are time dependent rather than time independent. Nonetheless, P t) and Q t) possess the usual properties P(0+6(0=/, Htf = P t 6(O = 0(O, and Pp)QiO = QiOPiO = 0 of orthogonal projection operators, where 6 is the null operator. 

Zwanzig used orthogonal projection operators to decompose the dynamical vector pt) into relevant and irrelevant parts for the forward direction of time. With this decomposition, Zwanzig obtained the non-Markovian... 

Mori introduced a decomposition of the dynamics into relevant and irrelevant parts by the application of orthogonal projection operators directly to the vector equation of motion for dynamical variables. As discussed earlier, this approach leads to Mori s generalized Langevin equation. [See Eq. (554).]... 

In dual Lanczos transformation theory, orthogonal projection operators are used to decompose the dynamics of a system into relevant and irrelevant parts in the same spirit as in the Mori-Zwanzig projection operator formalism, but with a differing motivation and decomposition. More specifically, orthogonal projection operators are used to decompose the retarded or advanced dynamics into relevant and irrelevant parts that are completely decoupled. The subdynamics for each of these parts is an independent and closed subdynamics of the system dynamics. With this decomposition, we are able to completely discard the irrelevant information and focus our attention solely on the closed subdynamics of the relevant part. 

It should be noted that these two solutions are orthogonal to each other uftPWP) = 0. By noting that the projection operator P+(p) operating on the remaining two basis spinors... 

Here 0 is the Heaviside function. The projection operator formalism must be carried out in matrix from and in this connection it is useful to define the orthogonal set of variables, k,uk,5k > where the entropy density is sk = ek — CvTrik with Cv the specific heat. In terms of these variables the linearized hydrodynamic equations take the form... 

It is possible to ensure that the orbitals we extract for one molecule in the crystal are orthogonal to all other orbitals on all other molecules in the crystal. If this is the case, a determinant wave function can be constructed for the entire crystal. To ensure the required orthogonality, a projection operator is used ... 

Formally, each orthogonalized-plane-wave basis function may be written as (1 - P), where ijjk is a plane wave and P is the projection operator such that Pif/k gives the core-state component of Il>k ... 

Another method that may be used to generate the projection operator involves the use a matrix representation of the operator. In particular, we will use the orthogonal representation. First we must assign a Yamanouchi symbol to each tableau we have created. This is done by going through the numbers from 1 to n in each tableau and writing down in which row the number occurs. Thus if we assign names to the above tableaux ... 

The complex scalar product lets us dehne an analog of Euclidean orthogonal projections. First we need to dehne Hermitian operators. These are analogous to symmetric operators on R". 

Definition 3.11 Suppose V is a complex scalar product space. An orthogonal projection IT V V is a Hemitian linear operator FI such that IT = fl. 

If we were to operate on/3 with the eh projection operator, we would get an MO that is some linear combination of (9.90) and (9.91).] The degenerate MOs (9.90) and (9.91) are not orthogonal, but we can easily get two orthogonal MOs from them let us call these functions F and G. Since they differ only in the labeling of the carbons, we have... 

Explicit orthogonality constraints can be removed by transformingthe hamiltonian so that it only acts on a specific subspace (e.g. the valence space) of the all-electron space. This can be done formally by the use of the projection operator method (see Huzinaga and Cantu18 or Kahn, Baybutt, and Truhlar20). If the core function is written as in equation (6) a projection operator may be defined for each valence electron p ...
