Perturbation theory developments

The effeet of adding in the py orbitals is to polarize the 2s orbital along the y-axis. The amplitudes Cn are determined via the equations of perturbation theory developed below the ehange in the energy of the 2s orbital eaused by the applieation of the field is expressed in terms of the Cn eoeffieients and the (unperturbed) energies of the 2s and npy orbitals. 

The usual BO method (see eqs. A.5, A.6, A.9, A.10 as well as the "crude" approach (eqs. A.21-A.24) are characterized by a common shortcoming. Namely, it is difficult to evaluate higher nonadiabatic corrections based on these versions of adiabatic method. Neither of these approaches is adaptable to the usual perturbation theory development. In this connection, the development of a method that would enable the application of perturbation theory is of interest. Such a method has been determined by Geilikman (47) in solid state theory. An analogous method can be developed for molecules (81). 

In addition to computer simulations, what drives the research in this direction is elaborated perturbation theories developed almost simultaneously. In particular, the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser (KAM) theorem, which has shown the existence of invariant tori under a small perturbation to completely inte-grable systems, and the Nekhoroshev theorem, which has proved exponentially long-time stability of trajectories close to completely integrable ones, are landmarks in this field. Although a lot of works have been done, there still remain unsolved important questions, and the Hamiltonian system is being studied as one of important branches in the theory of dynamical systems [3-5]. 

Using the perturbation theory developed in Ref. 102, one can choose the Hamiltonian of the three-dimensional oscillator with frequencies oov and cog (stretching and bending, respectively) and a new equilibrium position x, which are vibration parameters of the free energy. In this case the free energy per hydrogen can be represented as... 

Comment on Einstein s isotropic radiation The time-dependent perturbation theory developed by Einstein is somewhat tricky in the sense that Einstein introduces an isotropic radiation bath which consists of 1/3 of Ex, 1/3 of Ey and 1/3 of Ez components.

The form of perturbation theory developed in this section is called Rayleigh-Schrodinger perturbation theory, other approaches exist.)... 

The 1960s saw the applications of the many-body perturbation theory developed during the 1950s by Brueckner [13], Goldstone [38] and others to the atomic structure problem by Kelly [63-72]." These applications used the numerical solutions to the Hartree-Fock equations which are available for atoms because of the special coordinate system. Kelly also reported applications to some simple hydrides in which the hydrogen atom nucleus is treated as an additional perturbation. 

The singular behaviour of the adiabatic energies, wave functions and derivative couplings near a conical intersection makes a formal analysis of that region highly desirable. This analysis is accomplished using a generalization of the perturbation theory developed by Mead in his seminal treatment of X3 molecules. ... 

The time-dependent perturbation theory developed in Section 1.4 is useful for small perturbations, and is widely applied in spectroscopy. The contrasting situation in which the perturbation is not small compared to the energy separations between unperturbed levels is often more difficult to treat. A simplification occurs when the Hamiltonian changes suddenly at t = 0 from J ,...

Most of the theory in the present chapter is concerned with perturbational corrections to states that are dominated by a single electronic configuration, usually represented by a Hartree-Fock wave function. However, in Section 14.7, we consider multiconfigurational generalizations of Mpller-Plesset perturbation theory, in particular the second-order perturbation theory developed within the framework of CASSCF theory.
