The Structurally Recursive Method

The Structurally Recursive Method is then expanded, and a second, non-recursive algorithm fw the manipulator inertia matrix is derived from it A finite summation, which is a function of individual link inertia matrices and columns of the propriate Jacobian matrices, is defined fw each element of the joint space inertia matrix in the Inertia Projection Method. Further manipulation of this expression and application of the composite-rigid-body inertia concept [42] are used to obtain two additional algwithms, the Modified Composite-Rigid-Body Method and the Spatial Composite-Rigid-Body Method, also in the fourth section. These algorithms do make use of recursive expressions and are more computationally efficient. 

Four algorithms for computing the joint space inertia matrix of a manipulator are presented in this section. We begin with the most physically intuitive algorithm the Structurally Recursive Method. Development of the remaining three methods, namely, the Inertia Projection Method, the Modified Composite-Rigid-Body Method, arid the Spatial Composite-Rigid-Body Method, follows directly from the results of this tot intuitive derivation. 

To begin the development of the Structurally Recursive Method, a one-link manipulator, as shown in Figure 3.1, is examined. A free-body force equation may be written fix the single link as follows ... 

In the next analysis, we will examine the components of successive inotia matrices as defined by the algorithm given in Table 3.1. First, the expansion of the equations for the Structurally Recursive Method leads to an exjnession for H,j, the Tii X itj submatrix of H, in the form of a summation. Its terms involve projections of individual link inertias onto the preceding joint axis vectors, which... 

Extrapolating from these expanded versions of the equations for the Structurally Recursive Method, a general expression fw the (i,j) submatrix of the 7 T-link manipulator inertia matrix, Hat (or simply H), may be written as follows ... 

In this simple recursion, the operational space inertia matrix of the base member, Ao, is propagated across joint 1 by La > a new spatial articulated transformation which is very similar in form to the acceloation propagator of the previous section. The propagated matrix is combined with Ii, the spatial inertia of link 1 to form Ai, the operational space inertia matrix of the two-link partial chain comprised of links 0 and 1. Note the similarity between this recursive procedure and the structural recursion used to derive the Structurally Recursive Method (Method I) in Ch t 3.

Evaluation of protein sequence analysis methods based on the use of PSSMs in benchmarking experiments and in a number of test cases shows that these methods are capable of systematically detecting relationships between proteins that previously have been deemed tractable only at the structure-comparison level. Clearly, however, there is still a lot of room for improvement, as many automated procedures missed subtle connections that subsequendy have been revealed on a case-by-case basis, in part thanks to a careful choice of starting points for the PSSM construction. An exhaustive exploration of the sequence space by recursive iterative searching is likely to yield additional, on many occasions unexpected, links between proteins and, in particular, is expected to increase the rate of structure prediction. 

At the end of a split synthesis, because the beads have been pooled and mixed, the exact identity of a molecule on a given bead is unknown. Likewise, the identity and structure of compounds in wells is unknown. Split synthesis is not a spatially addressable method. Fortunately, the exact structure does not need to be known unless a compound shows activity in a screen. If active, the structure of the compound in the well will need to be elucidated through a process called deconvolution. Deconvolution is generally accomplished through one of two methods recursive deconvolution21 or binary encoding.22... 

While the supercell approach works well for localized systems, it is typically necessary to consider a very large supercell. This results in a plane-wave basis replicating not only the relevant electronic states but also vacuum regions imposed by the supercell. A much more efficient method to implement for investigating the electronic structures of localized systems is to use real space methods such as the recursion methods [27] and the moments methods [28], These methods do not require symmetry and their cost grows linearly with the number of inequivalent atoms being considered. For these reasons, real space methods are very useful for a description of the electronic properties of complex systems, for which the usual k-space methods are either inapplicable or extremely costly. 

The second group can be represented by single bead methods, and relies on either bioanalytical methods to select the active compounds or on-bead screening to determine the beads carrying active compounds. It is limited to solid-phase chemistry and does not require chemical steps after library synthesis but does require sophisticated analytical methods to determine the structure of the active compounds. A recent hybrid deconvolution-single beaddecoding method named DRED (dual recursive deconvolution) requires both deconvolutive techniques and sophisticated analytical capacities. 

When the SLD profile of an interface is known, a matrix method or a recursion method can easily be used to calculate reflectivity curves. However, for pedagogical purposes the relationship between the reflectivity and the structure of the interface is better revealed by the analytical expressions derived with the help of the kinematic approximation. The kinematic approximation has been shown to describe the reflection of neutrons from stratified media very well when the reflectivity is significantly less than unity. When a film of SLD pi and thickness t, is sandwiched between two phases of identical SLD p, the expression for the reflectivity derived from a kinematic approach is [36]... 

The time scales of the structural transitions in (NaCl)35Cl mean that it is impossible to use conventional molecular dynamics to investigate the interfunnel dynamics. Instead we use the master equation method outlined in Section III.D. To reduce the computational expense and numerical difficulties we recursively removed from our sample those minima that are only connected to one other minimum—these dead-end minima do not contribute directly to the probability flow between different regions of the PES. The resulting pruned sample had 1624 minima and 2639 transition states. RRKM theory in the harmonic approximation was used to model the individual rate constants,. ... 

Since the ABSs include Hermites with / > 0, the direct space contributions can be efficiently evaluated by using the McMurchie-Davidson (MD) recursion (McMurchie and Davidson, 1978). This recursion has been used to calculate the required erfc and higher derivatives for multipole interactions (Sagui et al., 2004). This approach was also employed for the Hermite Gaussians (Cisneros et al., 2006b), where it was shown that the MD recursion is applicable to other types of operators besides 1/r. For the reciprocal sums three methods were implemented full Ewald (Ewald, 1921), sPME (Essmann et al., 1995) and FFP (York and Yang, 1994). The latter two methods rely on the use of fast Fourier transforms to approximate the structure factors that arise in the reciprocal term, which results in the efficient evaluation of this term and has been shown to scale as 0[N log N) for sPME (Essmann et al., 1995). 

Overall the general recursion of eqn. (2) is applicable beyond the case of Kekule structures here elaborated for illustration. The related so-called conju-gated-circuit method turns out to have quite neat (related) linear re-cursions. Generally many sub-graph enumeration problems turn out to be of a linear recursive nature. 

The Decision tree method is widely used for classification and regression. A decision tree is a flow-chart-like tree structure, where each internal node denotes a test on an attribute, each branch represents an outcome of the test, and leaf nodes represent classes or class distributions. In order to classify an unknown sample, the attribute values of the sample are tested according to the decision tree starting from the root until one of the leaves. To build decision trees, a data mining algorithm recursively inspects the available data set to find decisions that optimally split the data into distinguished subsets. An important property of this technique is that its functioning is easily understood. 

So why not immediately use the Synthesis Method The reason is that both methods tackle different classes of problems. The MSG Method and the Synthesis Method are a joint answer to the same overall problem how to infer, from a finite set of general examples of an unknown relation that is however known to feature a given dataflow pattern between its parameters, a logic algorithm that is correct wrt a natural extension of the given examples. The MSG Method is the base case of the answer, because it doesn t look for recursion, and the Synthesis Method is the structure case of the answer, because it does look for recursion.
