Permutability definition

The purpose of permutation is the same as with the EFT, namely the bisect of the data sequence progressively until data pairs are reached. By definition whenA = 2... 

The definitions concerning figures will be followed by those on permutation groups. The terminology is suggestive. Symbols will have the same meaning throughout. 

Referring to the definition (1.5) of the cycle index we find further two permutation groups are combinatorially equivalent if and only if there exists a unique correspondence between the permutations of the two groups such that corresponding permutations have the same type of cycle decomposition. 

The direct product G H x k x. .. of arbitrarily many permutation groups is defined similarly. With this definition of a direct product the degrees are added and the cycle indices multiplied. 

The Wick chronological operator T is, therefore, defined in the same way as the P operator previously introduced, except that the T operator includes in its definition the sign of the permutation of the fermion factors. 

The vast number of thermodynamically possible reactions obtained by permuting oxidants and reductants within the scope of this review present major problems of classification and selection. To only a limited extent is the modernity or detail of a paper indicative of its relevance, some of the definitive papers having been published before 1950. Discussion has been concentrated, therefore, at points where a kinetic investigation of a reaction has resulted in a real advance in our understanding both of its mechanism and of those of related reactions, and work which has been more of a confirmatory nature will not receive comparable consideration. Detailed reference to products, spectra, etc. will be made only when the kinetics produce real ambiguities. 

This, together with the definition of r, tells us that this conjugation just replaces every site y by ry, as regards both permutation and reflection properties. Thus, cycle structure is preserved, as well as the location of reflections in cycles. 

By definition, a molecule is achiral if it is left invariant by some improper operation (reflection or rotary reflection) of the point group of the skeleton. Writing the permutation s corresponding to a given improper operation in cyclic form,... 

The first satisfactory definition of entropy, which is quite recent, is that of Kittel (1989) entropy is the natural logarithm of the quantum states accessible to a system. As we will see, this definition is easily understood in light of Boltzmann s relation between configurational entropy and permutability. The definition is clearly nonoperative (because the number of quantum states accessible to a system cannot be calculated). Nevertheless, the entropy of a phase may be experimentally measured with good precision (with a calorimeter, for instance), and we do not need any operative definition. Kittel s definition has the merit to having put an end to all sorts of nebulous definitions that confused causes with effects. The fundamental P-V-T relation between state functions in a closed system is represented by the exact differential (cf appendix 2)... 

The function F(l,2) is in fact the space part of the total wave function, since a non-relativistic two-electron wave function can always be represented by a product of the spin and space parts, both having opposite symmetries with respect to the electrons permutations. Thus, one may skip the spin function and use only the space part of the wave function. The only trace that spin leaves is the definite per-mutational symmetry and sign in Eq.(14) refers to singlet as "+" and to triplet as Xi and yi denote cartesian coordinates of the ith electron. A is commonly known angular projection quantum number and A is equal to 0, 1, and 2 for L, II and A symmetry of the electronic state respectively. The linear variational coefficients c, are found by solving the secular equations. The basis functions i(l,2) which possess 2 symmetry are expressed in elliptic coordinates as ... 

For many purposes it is convenient to eliminate the restriction (1.1) by the following purely algebraic device. One allows each xa to range from — oo to +oo, but agrees that all s sets ti,t2,... ts that are the same apart from a permutation correspond to one and the same state. In addition one extends the definition of Qs xl9 t2,. .., t5) to the whole s-dimensional space by stipulating that it is a symmetric function of its variables. The normalization condition (1.2) may then be written... 

In the general approach to classical statistical mechanics, each particle is considered to occupy a point in phase space, i.e., to have a definite position and momentum, at a given instant. The probability that the point corresponding to a particle will fall in any small volume of the phase space is taken proportional to die volume. The probability of a specific arrangement of points is proportional to the number of ways that the total ensemble of molecules could be permuted to achieve the arrangement. When this is done, and it is further required that the number of molecules and their total energy remain constant, one can obtain a description of the most probable distribution of the molecules in phase space. Tlie Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution law results.

Thereby the matrix 11(F) denotes a K-dimensional permutation matrix and F (F) a 3 by 3 orthogonal matrix. The form of this representation follows from the fact that each isometric transformation maps the NC Xk, Zk, Mk onto a NC which by definition has the same set of distances, i.e. is isometric to NC Xk, Zk, Mk. Expressed alternatively, the nuclear configurations NC Xk( ), Zk, Mk and NC Xk(F 1 ( )), Zk, Mk are properly or improperly congruent up to permutations of nuclei with equal charge and mass for any F G ( ). The set of matrices Eq. (2.12) forms a representation of J d) by linear transformations and will furtheron be denoted by... 

From the definition of covering symmetry which basically rests on the concept of the isometric mapping of a point set onto itself, it is evident that the operators PG map the distance set dkk d) onto itself by intransitive permutations ... 

Acids and bases react to give salts and (usually) water. That is one definition of a salt. So, when we say salt solution, we are really talking about solutions that contain the conjugate acid or base of some other acid or base. The pH of a salt solution depends on the acid/base strength of the acid or base from which it was derived. There are three permutations on the problem salts of strong ac-ids/bases, salts of weak acids, and salts of weak bases. Let s consider them each in turn.
