Transformation groups

We start with the view of groups from the mathematical view. The symmetries of the regular triangle include the three reflections and the rotations by 120°, 240°, and 360° around the center, as shown in Eig. 15.1. Note that the reflection can be performed also as a rotation. We lift the triangle out of the plane, then turn it bottom side up and place it again in the plane. We may think that in the case of a reflection the lines that are connecting the points must be broken up temporarily. However, 

We address the transformations, i.e., rotation, reflection, etc., also as symmetry operations. We summarize the properties of these transformations  

We call the possible transformations a transformation group G. The transformation acts on the set of structures, i.e., the six triangles. The individual transformations have the following properties  

A subset S of the structures is invariant if transformations in G result in structures belonging to S.

Similarity Variables The physical meaning of the term similarity relates to internal similitude, or self-similitude. Thus, similar solutions in boundaiy-layer flow over a horizontal flat plate are those for which the horizontal component of velocity u has the property that two velocity profiles located at different coordinates x differ only by a scale factor. The mathematical interpretation of the term similarity is a transformation of variables carried out so that a reduction in the number of independent variables is achieved. There are essentially two methods for finding similarity variables, separation of variables (not the classical concept) and the use of continuous transformation groups. The basic theoiy is available in Ames (see the references). 

It is useful to think about synthetic processes which can be used together in a specific sequence as multistep packages. Such standard reaction combinations are typified by the common synthetic sequences shown in Chart 13. In retrosynthetic analysis the corresponding transform groupings can be applied as tactical combinations. 

To describe the simple phenomena mentioned above, we would hke to have only transparent approximations as in the Poisson-Boltzmann theory for ionic systems or in the van der Waals theory for non-coulombic systems [14]. Certainly there are many ways to reach this goal. Here we show that a field-theoretic approach is well suited for that. Its advantage is to focus on some aspects of charged interfaces traditionally paid little attention for instance, the role of symmetry in the effective interaction between ions and the analysis of the profiles in terms of a transformation group, as is done in quantum field theory. 

Figure 16.3 illustrates the most commonly used transformer, grouping and winding arrangements and phase displacements. 

In case of two groups, the Fisher method transforms the multivariate data to a univariate discriminant variable such that the transformed groups are separated as much as possible. For this transformation, a linear combination of the original x-variables is used, in other words a latent variable. 

The history of the study of symmetry properties of Eq. (3) goes back to the beginning of the twentieth century. Invariance properties of Maxwell equations have been studied by Lorentz [40] and Poincare [41,42]. They have proved that Eq. (3) are invariant with respect to the transformation group named by the Poincare suggestion the Lorentz group. Furthermore, Larmor [43] and Rainich [44] have found that equations (3) are invariant with respect the singleparameter transformation group...

In comparison, if one uses the transformation group of the Schrodinger equation as well as the addition theorem (9.31) for the eigenfunctions, the summation is easy to carry out the whole summation (9.33) is easier to calculate than one single term. 

Transformation Group of the Dynamical Variables. The transformation groups r(NCf) X), r(3) X and A(3) X all refer to the frame system 1 . By means of the relation between the frame and laboratory system Eq. (2.1) they may be used to define the transformations of the eulerian angles as follows ... 

Next we consider the direct sum of the two transformation groups j/ JO and SS In the case where both these groups may be represented by linear inhomogeneous transformations according to Eqs. (2.6), (2.28) this leads to the matrix group...

This formulation of these systems is useful in many cases. The matrix T is a stochastic matrix and the group T<) is a one parameter linear continuous transformation group.
