Theoretical classification

Even for well-posed problems, only an incomplete classification of variables is meaningful, if it has to be independent of the particular choice of point Zq Let us introduce two formal definitions. 

The classification criteria can be based on the properties of the Jacobi matrix (8.5.10). Alas, the analysis requires again a subtle mathematical reasoning. 

Let us designate the section of iSfat constant x, thus the set (8.5.19) let us trace an arbitrary curve on the manifold Sflf(x). Let 

Observe that can be different for different z, in particular for different x. 

Moreover, let the condition (8.5.34) be obeyed also in some N-dimensional neighbourhood % of an arbitrary z e. Then, given arbitrary 2 (8.5.35a), there exists some neighbourhood x I of z (a Cartesian product of intervals) such that whatever be X e

It seems essential to include unstable particles in any coherent schema. Even the simplest isotopic doublet, neutron-proton, contains one stable and one unstable particle, and the more refined group theoretical classifications introduce both stable and unstable particles on the same footing.17 This is especially true since the discovery of resonances which are not only produced by strong interactions but also decay through strong interactions. 

Table 14.2 Theoretical classification of input stimuli according to the result of Helson (1938). Three different samples are illuminated with four different light sources. The reflectance of the background was 0.5 for all three samples.

In Section 6 we have attempted to demonstrate the possible ways of using the various aspects of graph-theoretical classification and coding of the chemical reaction mechanisms in solving various problems in chemical kinetics, as well as in the development of computer simulation methods. 

As we have shown above, the energies of mechanical excitons for k = 0 do not depend on the direction of k. This property simplifies the group-theoretical classification of the states of mechanical excitons and will be used below.

In the 1700s, Antoine Lavoisier postulated a formal and theoretical classification system for acids and bases. He made two assumptions — that all acids contained an essence (which he suggested was oxygen), and that all acids were similar with no unique differences among them. He was wrong on both counts, but his assertions engaged the scientific community nonetheless. 

In the most recent FIR-VRT experiments it is the resolution of tunneling splittings which provides information about cluster rearrangement mechanisms. Hence we must consider the origin of quantum tunneling and the group theoretical classification of nonrigid molecules.
