Particle function

The total wavefunction r2,. . ., r is written as a product of single-particle functions (Hartree approximation). The various integrals are evaluated in tire saddle point approximation. A simple Gaussian fomr for tire trial one-particle wavefunction... 

Obviously, the theory outhned above can be applied to two- and three-dimensional systems. In the case of a two-dimensional system the Fourier transforms of the two-particle function coefficients are carried out by using an algorithm, developed by Lado [85], that preserves orthogonality. A monolayer of adsorbed colloidal particles, having a continuous distribution of diameters, has been investigated by Lado. Specific calculations have been carried out for the system with the Schulz distribution [86]... 

The approaeh deseribed above introduees the eoneept of a giant partiele (wall)-Q partiele direet eorrelation funetion. As far as the relation between hga and cga is not speeified, Eq. (32) is exaet. However, in eontrast to Eq. (14), (32) eontains the direet eorrelation funetion for a uniform fluid. The general relation between hg and Cg involves the bridge wall-a particle function, Bg r)... 

A numerical algorithm for the solution of the system of Eqs. (15), (19) and (51) consists of the expansion of the two-particle functions into a Fourier-Bessel series. We omit all the details of the numerical method they can be found in Refs. 55-58, 85, 86. In Fig. 3 we show a comparison of the total... 

In the numerical solution the matrix structure is evaluated from Eqs. (44)-(46). Then Eqs. (47)-(49) with corresponding closure approximations are solved. Details of the solution have been presented in Refs. 32 and 33. Briefly, the numerical algorithm uses an expansion of the two-particle functions into a Fourier-Bessel series. The three-fold integrations are then reduced to sums of one-dimensional integrations. In the case of hard-sphere potentials, the BGY equation contains the delta function due to the derivative of the pair interactions. Therefore, the integrals in Eqs. (48) and (49) are onefold and contain the contact values of the functions... 

If the Hamiltonian would be the sum of one-electron operators only, one could easily separate the variables in the basic Schrodin-ger equation (Eq. II. 1), and the total wave function 0 would then be the product of N one-particle functions each one being an... 

In mathematics there is a large number of complete sets of one-particle functions given, and many of those may be convenient for physical applications. With the development of the modern electronic computers, there has been a trend to use such sets as render particularly simple matrix elements HKL of the energy, and the accuracy desired has then been obtained by choosing the truncated set larger and larger. Here we would like to mention the use of Gaussian wave functions (Boys 1950, Meckler 1953) and the use of the exponential radial set (Boys 1955), i.e., respectively... 

Two cases are of interest in statistical problems. First let F XN) be a sum of one-particle functions ... 

Exact Equations of Motion in Terms of One-particle Functions... 

In this volume dedicated to Yngve Ohm we feel it is particularly appropriate to extend his ideas and merge them with the powerful practical and conceptual tools of Density Functional Theory (6). We extend the formalism used in the TDVP to mixed states and consider the states to be labeled by the densities of electronic space and spin coordinates. (In the treatment presented here we do not explicitly consider the nuclei but consider them to be fixed. Elsewhere we shall show that it is indeed straightforward to extend our treatment in the same way as Ohm et al. and obtain equations that avoid the Bom-Oppenheimer Approximation.) In this article we obtain a formulation of exact equations for the evolution of electronic space-spin densities, which are equivalent to the Heisenberg equation of motion for the electtons in the system. Using the observation that densities can be expressed as quadratic expansions of functions, we also obtain exact equations for Aese one-particle functions. 

In the preceding sections we have introduced effective one-particle equations, both time-dependent and time-independent, for one-particle functions that determine the density through the expansicai...

Many particle types contain functional groups that are built into the polymer backbone and displayed on their surface. The quantity of these groups can vary widely depending on the type and ratios of monomers used in the polymerization process or the degree of secondary surface modifications that have been done. Some common particle functionalities are shown in Figure 14.6. Many of these functionalized particles can be used to couple covalently biomolecules through the appropriate reaction conditions (Ilium and Jones, 1985 Arshady, 1993). For each type of particle, manufacturers may offer several different densities of functional groups for different applications. 

In our discussion so far, we have used electronic energies that are assumed to represent calculations carried out in an infinite basis of one-particle functions (the basis-set limit). In practice, finite basis sets are used as we shall see, the truncation of the one-electron basis is a serious problem that may lead to large errors in the calculations. 

The occupied single-particle functions (j) and the virtual single-particle functions ( )a are solutions of the corresponding canonical HF equations... 

Similarly, let us consider a wavefunction particle functions in Hilbert space is denoted by... 

The (V-particle function d>o e La V ) is given, in general as a linear combination of Slater determinants constructed from plane waves, thus extending the treatment of both Macke [53, 54] and of March and Young [55]. Thus, we have = where %k is the Slater determinant xx = (iV) det... 

Let us consider now the application of local-scaling transformations to sets of single-particle functions or orbitals. As it was shown in Sect. 2.1, a set of plane waves gives rise to the transformed orbitals described by Eq. (2). In particular, the application of this transformation to one-dimensional plane-waves leads to Harriman s equidensity orbitals [27], which are given by ... 

Consider the orthonormal set of one-particle functions < k,(r) for k/ -1,..., ffi, with m greater than the number of particles JV, from which an ordered... 

Let us now consider the transformed orbitals from the perspective of localscaling transformations. For a fixed set of single-particle functions <, (r) and a fixed set of expansion coefficients Cr, the wavefunction given by Eq. (114) is also fixed and yields a one-particle density p (r). We now consider the localscaling transformation that carries this density into a density p(r) and obtain the corresponding transformed orbitals ... 

We emphasize once more that the term orbit should not be confused with the word orbital , which, in its usual connotation in quantum chemistry, denotes a one-particle function. 

To gain an understanding of this mechanism, consider the Hamiltonian operator (H — Egl) with only two-body interactions, where Eg is the lowest energy for an A -particle system with Hamiltonian H and the identity operator I. Because Eg is the lowest (or ground-state) energy, the Hamiltonian operator is positive semi-definite on the A -electron space that is, the expectation values of H with respect to all A -particle functions are nonnegative. Assume that the Hamiltonian may be expanded as a sum of operators G,G,... 

Another route to construction of the approximate 1-RDM functional involves employment of expressions for E and D afforded by some size-consistent formalism of electronic structure theory. Mazziotti [42] proposed a geminal functional theory (GET) where an antisymmetric two-particle function (geminal) serves as the fundamental parameter. The one-matrix-geminal relationship allowed him to define a D-based theory from GET [43]. He generalized Levy s constrained search to optimize the universal functionals with respect to 2-RDMs rather than wavefunctions. 

Atomic units are used. Here and in the following x = (r, s) stands for the combined spatial and spin coordinates, r and s, respectively. The SOs 0,(x) constitute a complete orthonormal set of single-particle functions. 

As is common in papers on quantum mechanics, we assume that a choice has been made of a fixed set of one-particle functions, q>i, 0 < / < r, in terms of which all functions occurring in our argument are expanded. 

If is a Hermitian operator acting on the space of antisymmetric two-particle functions, then we define... 

Now that we know the number of linearly independent -particle fimctions for a particular y, we can ask for the total number of linearly independent -particle functions that can be generated from m orbitals. Weyl[38] gave ageneral expression for all partitions and we will only quote his result for our two-column tableaux. The total number of functions, D n, m, S), i.e., the size of a full Cl calculation is...
