Scalar product of vectors

Transformations that take one orthonormal set of basis vectors into another orthonormal set are called unitary transformations, the operators associated with them are called unitary operators. This definition preserves the norms and scalar products of vectors in Ln. The transformation (4) is in fact a set of linear equations... 

Table 1.1 Conjugate pairs of variables in work terms for the fundamental equation for the internal energy U. Here/is force of elongation, Z is length in the direction of the force, <7 is surface tension, As is surface area, , is the electric potential of the phase containing species i, qi is the contribution of species i to the electric charge of a phase, E is electric field strength, p is the electric dipole moment of the system, B is magnetic field strength (magnetic flux density), and m is the magnetic moment of the system. The dots indicate scalar products of vectors.

The label (column-vector) a is said to represent R ) in the A general scalar product of vectors Ra), Rp) then becomes, in and (11.10),... 

Thus the scalar product of vectors A and B in two-dimensional space is equal to the sum of the products of their components with no cross terms (e.g., AxBy). This result is actually only a special case of the general rule in p-dimensional space ... 

The scalar product of vectors A and B may be expressed in cyclic coordinates as... 

Here we introduce the notation ( . ..) for the scalar product of vectors whose components are numbered by the Cartesian shifts of the nuclei). Next, let h" be the supermatrix of the second derivatives of the matrix of the Fock operator with respect to the same shifts. As previously, we refer here to the supermatrix indexed by the pairs of nuclear shifts in order to stress that the elements of this matrix are themselves the 10 x 10 matrices of the corresponding second derivatives of the Fock operator with respect to the shifts. The contribution of the second order in the nuclear shifts can be given the form of the (super)matrix average over the vector of the nuclear shifts ... 

In this volume, we will often use the scalar and vector products of two vectors. Thus, we will start with a review of vector algebra. The scalar product of vectors a and b is defined as 3i = aJbx + a y + aibz = abcosd. (1-1)...

C, a square matrix representing the second-rank tensor C Then the scalar product of vectors can be written as aTb = bTa = aaba = d... 

The concept of the Hermitian scalar product of vectors as outlined in Chapter 2 is readily extended to functions of many variables. Suppose a function / contains n variables xi, Xj,. . . , x , and that each variable can take an infinite number of values within a particular interval. In short, / is a continuous function of n variables. The variables xi, x, . . . , Xn therefore define an n-fold infinite-dimensional space, and the function /(xi, X2,, x ) is a vector in that space. If g xi, x, ... 

The energy of interaction of the nuclear dipole and the static field is given by the scalar product of vectors // and H ... 

In translational mechanics, ihe, force F plays the role of energy-per-entity in the capacitive sub-variety of energy in other words, it belongs to the family of efforts. The displacement t plays the role of capacitive entity number which is therefore a basic quantity. These are state variables oriented in space and therefore they are represented by vectors. In this energetic subvariety, the capacitive energy is called work and its variation is given by the scalar product of vector force by the variation of vector displacement ... 

In order to introduce Euclidean structure on IR, we use the scalar product of vectors. It is called a scalar product since the result is not a vector but a scalar, a real... 

This yields the usual distance of points in 3D space as the distance d(x, y) of the corresponding vectors. Thus, the scalar product of vectors yields the geometric distance of points. 

Generalizing, in the space R of N-vectors we introduce the (canonical Euclidean) scalar product of vectors a and b... 

AH considerations refer to Cartesian coordinates. Italic letters stand for scalar values, vectors and tensors of 2nd (or higher) order are characterized by bold and underlined, double underlined (or double underlined with an index of order) letters. Scalar products of vectors and tensors are given by a dot or two dots, respectively. 

The examinations will be accomplished in the three-dimensional Euclidean vector space, where the scalar product of vectors is defined beyond the prop>-erties of the afline space. Cartesian coordinates with their orthogonal, straight, and normalized base are sufficient for the problems at hand and therefore will be used. 

When only a single scalar product of base vectors is involved, the result of such a product has the added order of the multiplied tensors lowered by two. This contracting or inner product of general tensors thus comprises the scalar product of vectors as a special case. Further on, the tensorial or outer product...
