The Schrodinger equation is a differential equation depending on time and on all of the spatial coordinates necessary to describe the system at hand (thirty-nine for the H2O example cited above). It is usually written... 

To describe the orientations of a diatomic or linear polyatomic molecule requires only two angles (usually termed 0 and ([)). For any non-linear molecule, three angles (usually a, P, and y) are needed. Hence the rotational Schrodinger equation for a nonlinear molecule is a differential equation in three-dimensions. 

In solving differential equations such as the Schrodinger equation involving two or more variables (e.g., equations that depend on three spatial coordinates x, y, and z or r, 0,... 

The Schrodinger equation is a differential equation, an equation that relates the derivatives of a function (in this case, a second derivative of v i, d2t (/dx2) to the value of the function at each point. Derivatives are reviewed in Appendix IF. 

The application of the time-independent Schrodinger equation to a system of chemical interest requires the solution of a linear second-order homogeneous differential equation of the general form... 

In Chapters 4, 5, and 6 the Schrodinger equation is applied to three systems the harmonie oseillator, the orbital angular momentum, and the hydrogen atom, respectively. The ladder operator technique is used in each case to solve the resulting differential equation. We present here the solutions of these differential equations using the Frobenius method. 

In equilibrium statistical mechanics involving quantum effects, we need to know the density matrix in order to calculate averages of the quantities of interest. This density matrix is the quantum analog of the classical Boltzmann factor. It can be obtained by solving a differential equation very similar to the time-dependent Schrodinger equation... 

This part of our chapter has shown that the use of the two variables, moduli and phases, leads in a direct way to the derivation of the continuity and Hamilton-Jacobi equations for both scalar and spinor wave functions. For the latter case, we show that the differential equations for each spinor component are (in the nearly nonrelativistic limit) approximately decoupled. Because of this decoupling (mutual independence) it appears that the reciprocal relations between phases and moduli derived in Section III hold to a good approximation for each spinor component separately, too. For velocities and electromagnetic field strengths that are normally below the relativistic scale, the Berry phase obtained from the Schrodinger equation (for scalar fields) will not be altered by consideration of the Dirac equation.

The system of coupled differential equations is equivalent to the original time-dependent Schrodinger equation, and no approximation has been made. If the perturbation AH is weak, the coefficients ck may be expanded in powers of A as... 

A numerical solution of the Schrodinger equation in Eq. [1] often starts with the discretization of the wave function. Discretization is necessary because it converts the differential equation to a matrix form, which can then be readily handled by a digital computer. This process is typically done using a set of basis functions in a chosen coordinate system. As discussed extensively in the literature,5,9-11 the proper choice of the coordinate system and the basis functions is vital in minimizing the size of the problem and in providing a physically relevant interpretation of the solution. However, this important topic is out of the scope of this review and we will only discuss some related issues in the context of recursive diagonalization. Interested readers are referred to other excellent reviews on this topic.5,9,10... 

In the Schrodinger equation, the abstract relations are realized in terms of differential operators... 

A problem that arises in connection with the construction of the basis is that of finding what are the allowed values of the quantum numbers of the subalgebra G contained in a given representation of G. For example, what are the allowed values of Mj for a given J in Eq. (2.12). In this particular case, the answer is well known from the solution of the differential (Schrodinger) equation satisfied by the spherical harmonics (see Section 1.4), that is,... 

The connection between the algebra of U(2)9 and the solutions of the Schrodinger equation with a Morse potential can be explicitly demonstrated in a variety of ways. One of these is that of realizing the creation and annihilation operators as differential operators acting on two coordinates x and x",... 

The classical potential energy term is just a sum of the Coulomb interaction terms (Equation 2.1) that depend on the various inter-particle distances. The potential energy term in the quantum mechanical operator is exactly the same as in classical mechanics. The operator Hop has now been obtained in terms of second derivatives with respect to Cartesian coordinates and inter-particle distances. If one desires to use other coordinates (e.g., spherical polar coordinates, elliptical coordinates, etc.), a transformation presents no difficulties in principle. The solution of a differential equation, known as the Schrodinger equation, gives the energy levels Emoi of the molecular system... 

Muda and Hanawa (MH) have approached the problem by considering the time variation of the quantities (r) = < r) cl,c, t)>, which are expectation values of products of creation and annihilation operators for site-centered orbitals >. The Schrodinger equation then leads to a set of first-order differential equations, viz.,... 

A class of partial differential equations first proposed by Erwin Schrodinger in 1926 to account for the so-called quantized wave behavior of molecules, atoms, nuclei, and electrons. Solutions to the Schrodinger equation are wave functions based on Louis de Broglie s proposal in 1924 that all matter has a dual nature, having properties of both particles and waves. These solutions are... 

The differential virial theorem (169) for noninteracting systems can alternatively be obtained [31], [32] by summing (with the weights fj ) similar relations obtained for separate eigenfunctions 4>ja(r) of the one-electron Schrodinger equation (40) [in particular the KS equation (50)]. Just in that way one can obtain, from the one-electron HF equations (33), the differential virial theorem for the HF (approximate) solution of the GS problem, as is shown in Appendix B, Eq. (302), in a form ...
