Products of Matrices

We can extend the algebra of matrices to include products formed by multiplying two matrices together. The product of the matrices must give a third matrix, since we know, for example, that the combined 20- operation in the C2V point group is equivalent to the other vertical reflection CTv. The multiplication of the two matrices can be carried out by treating the columns of the second matrix as vectors and multiplying each one by the rows 

Checking the product matrix against Table 4.5 confirms that the matrix product acts just like the symmetry operations, since we have generated ay from the product C2ay.

The center of the wavepacket thus evolves along the trajectory defined by classical mechanics. This is in fact a general result for wavepackets in a hannonic potential, and follows from the Ehrenfest theorem [147] [see Eqs. (154,155) in Appendix C]. The equations of motion are straightforward to integrate, with the exception of the width matrix, Eq. (44). This equation is numerically unstable, and has been found to cause problems in practical applications using Morse potentials [148]. As a result, Heller inboduced the P-Z method as an alternative propagation method [24]. In this, the matrix A, is rewritten as a product of matrices... 

This expression is the trace, in coordinate representation, of the operator WXHB — WXRH. But the trace of a product of matrices is independent of the order of the product, so the two parts of (8-253) cancel.29... 

Thus, the trace of the commutator [A, B] = AB - BA is equal to zero. Furthermore, the trace of a continued product of matrices is invariant under a cyclic permutation of... 

The arrangement of die elements in the direct-product matrix follows certain conventions. They are illustrated in the following chapter, where the direct product of matrices is employed in the theory of groups. 

It is often necessary to take the transpose of a product of matrices. Thus, if AB = C,Cjj — YfiOikbkj where in the general case all three matrices are rectangular (see Gq. (28)]. If both A and B are transposed, their product is... 

The operation of direct product of matrices is both associative and also distributive with respect to matrix addition, and hence finally...

The transpose of the product of matrices is the product of the transposed individual matrices in reversed order. 

It is easy to verify that the trace of any product of matrices is invariant to cyclic permutations of the matrices, for instance. 

This is the desired result The character of any symmetry operation in the direct-product representation TC is the product of its characters in the representations TF and Tc. (The direct product of matrices is not, in general, commutative however, A<8>B and B A have equal traces, and thus the corresponding direct-product representations are equivalent to each other.)... 

The derivation of the eigenphase sum for the Simonius S matrix, SSim(E), is straightforward by generalizing the procedure for an isolated resonance shown in Section 2.2.2. Compared with the Breit-Wigner S matrix, Sm(E), the matrix Sr in Eq. (34) is now replaced by SPN, or the product of matrices Sv/ each having the same apparent form as Sr but with different resonance parameters and a different projection matrix. Since the determinant of the... 

The way the present ansatze are defined allows one to deal with the strips locally and the matrix elements can be evaluated by a transfer-matrix technique [22,23,34,35,40-44]. Within this technique one can define transfer and connection matrices that encode the local features and reduce the computation expectation values of any observable accepting a local expression, such as that of Eq. (61) for the energy. The results entails simple products of matrices [22,34],... 

Until recently, hot-melt extrusion had not received much attention in the pharmaceutical literature. Pellets comprising cellulose acetate phthalate were prepared using a rudimentary ram extruder in 1969 and studied for dissolution rates in relation to pellet geometry. More recently, production of matrices based on polyethylene and polycaprolactone were investigated using extruders of laboratory scale. Mank et al. reported in 1989 and 1990 on the extrusion of a number of thermoplastic polymers to produce sustained release pellets.A melt-extrusion process for manufacturing matrix drug delivery systems was reported by Sprockel and coworkers.As one can see, a review of the pharmaceutical scientific literature does not elucidate many applications for hot-melt extrusion in this field.

There are several types of matrix operations that are used in the MCSCF method. The transpose of a matrix A is denoted A and is defined by (A )ij = Xji. The identity (AB) = B A is sometimes useful where AB implies the usual definition of the product of matrices. A vector, specifically a column vector unless otherwise noted, is a special case of a matrix. A matrix-vector product, as in Eq. (5), is a special case of a matrix product. The conjugate of a matrix is written A and is defined by (A )jj = (A,j). The adjoint, written as A is defined by A = (A ) . The inverse of a square matrix, written as A , satisfies the relation A(A = 1 where = du is called the identity or unit matrix. The inverse of a matrix product satisfies the relation (AB) =B" A" . A particular type of matrix is a diagonal matrix D, where D,y = y, and is sometimes written D = diag(dj, d2> ) or as D = diag(d). The unit matrix is an example of a diagonal matrix.
