In the work of King, Dupuis, and Rys [15,16], the mabix elements of the Coulomb interaction term in Gaussian basis set were evaluated by solving the differential equations satisfied by these matrix elements. Thus, the Coulomb matrix elements are expressed in the form of the Rys polynomials. The potential problem of this method is that to obtain the mabix elements of the higher derivatives of Coulomb interactions, we need to solve more complicated differential equations numerically. Great effort has to be taken to ensure that the differential equation solver can solve such differential equations stably, and to... 

For example, the SHAKE algorithm [17] freezes out particular motions, such as bond stretching, using holonomic constraints. One of the differences between SHAKE and the present approach is that in SHAKE we have to know in advance the identity of the fast modes. No such restriction is imposed in the present investigation. Another related algorithm is the Backward Euler approach [18], in which a Langevin equation is solved and the slow modes are constantly cooled down. However, the Backward Euler scheme employs an initial value solver of the differential equation and therefore the increase in step size is limited. 

The results in the prior two sections were for the Macroscopic multipole and PME solvers in isolation. A complete MD simulation involves much more than these routines. In addition to computing the short range interactions from bonding forces, etc., the particle positions and velocities need to be updated each timestep. Additionally, efficient MD programs recognize that the...

Solver subroutines dealing with the assembly of elemental matrices and solution of the global set of algebraic equations. 

Frontal solution requires very intricate bookkeeping for tracking coefficients and making sure that all of the stiffness equations have been assembled and fully reduced. The process time requirement in frontal solvers is hence larger than a straightforward band solver for equal size problems. 

Another consequence of using this strategy is that, unlike band solver routines, global node numbering in frontal solvers may be done in a completely arbitrary manner. How ever, better computer economy is achieved if an element numbering which minimizes front width is used. In general, manipulation of...

The ubiquitousness of the personal computer and the increasing power of the program packages available for it have shifted the emphasis away from large, mainframe-based systems like PLATO. Instead, graphics are included in utihty programs such as equation solvers, spreadsheet processors, and word processors. 

In the equation-oriented approach, the executive organizes the equations and controls a general-purpose equation solver. The equations for material and energy balances may be grouped separately from those for the calculation of physical properties or phase equiHbria, or as ia the design of some simulators, the distinction between these groups of equations may disappear completely. 

Definition / An expert system is a computer program that manipulates large amounts of symboHc knowledge using quaUtative techniques, to solve problems that can otherwise be solved only by expert human problem solvers. Expert systems capture the human problem solver s expertise in the form of domain-specific knowledge and domain-independent problem-solving strategies. 

Definition 2 is phrased in terms of knowledge-based systems rather than expert systems. No reference is made to expert human problem solvers. Definition 2 captures the sense that the representation and manipulation of knowledge is the source of such a system s power, whether or not that knowledge is dkecdy eHcited from a human expert.

Solution of the algebraic equations. For creeping flows, the algebraic equations are hnear and a linear matrix equation is to be solved. Both direct and iterative solvers have been used. For most flows, the nonlinear inertial terms in the momentum equation are important and the algebraic discretized equations are therefore nonlinear. Solution yields the nodal values of the unknowns. 

An interlock is a protec tive response initiated on the detection of a process hazard. The interlock system consists of the measurement devices, logic solvers, and final control elements that recognize the hazard and initiate an appropriate response. Most interlocks consist of one or more logic conditions that detect out-of-hmit process conditions and respond by driving the final control elements to the safe states. For example, one must specify that a valve fails open or fails closed.
