Properties of Schemes

Many different techniques have been used to develop the local theory of schemes. For example, there are

As a result, a considerable amount of effort has been expended in designing various methods for providing difference approximations of differential equations. The simplest and, in a certain sense, natural method is connected with selecting a, suitable pattern and imposing on this pattern a difference equation with undetermined coefficients which may depend on nodal points and step. Requirements of solvability and approximation of a certain order cause some limitations on a proper choice of coefficients. However, those constraints are rather mild and we get an infinite set (for instance, a multi-parameter family) of schemes. There is some consensus of opinion that this is acceptable if we wish to get more and more properties of schemes such as homogeneity, conservatism, etc., leaving us with narrower classes of admissible schemes. 

Clearly, stability is an intrinsic property of schemes regardless of approximations and interrelations between the resulting schemes and relevant differential equations. Because of this, any stability condition should be imposed as the relationship between the operators A and B. More specifically, let a family of schemes specified by the restrictions on the operators A and B be given A = A > 0 or Ay, v) = y, Av) and Ay, y) > 0 for any y, v H, where (, ) is an inner product in H, B > 0 and B B B is non-self-adjoint). The problem statement consists of extracting from that family a set of schemes that are stable with respect to the initial data, having the form... 

Flowchart C illustrates another topic of study. It can be considered a graphical translation of the English program on the next page. This is a special kind of flowchart called a "WHILE scheme". One of its salient points is that it has no "GOTOs" - the only loops are subsumed by the WHILE statements. We shall examine special structural properties of schemes, such as block form, and conversions to such forms these may really be considered syntactic properties of flowcharts since they depend primarily on the graph structure. However they are very useful in discussing semantic considerations.

We examine these models not only as mathematical entities but also as a means of determining what the mathematical properties of schemes tell us regarding programming problems and languages. In studying alternative models an important point to consider is their relative power. 

In Scheme 2.1 the horizontal arrows represent the IPs and EAs while the vertical arrows define homolytic cleavages. The diagonal arrows that ascend from left to right imply the formation of H+ while for those that ascend from right to left it is the H that results. Seven pieces of experimental data are required to define the eleven thermodynamic properties of Scheme 2.1. 

The three independent rate constants /cqK, and kfc = kf + k, Kf fully determine the kinetic properties of Scheme 2, because the rate constants kf for enolization are related to those of the reverse reactions, Equation (9), where Kw is the ionization constant of water. We use primed symbols for the enolization of the neutral ketone K. In the rate equation for enolization, the terms k(f and k e ATW/AT are kinetically indistinguishable (see Equation (10) below).
