Trigonometric functions properties

The transformation from a set of Cartesian coordinates to a set of internal coordinates, wluch may for example be distances, angles and torsional angles, is an example of a non-linear transformation. The internal coordinates are connected with the Cartesian coordinates by means of square root and trigonometric functions, not simple linear combinations. A non-linear transformation will affect the convergence properties. This may be illustrate by considering a minimization of a Morse type function (eq. (2.5)) with D = a = ] and x = AR.

The hyperbolic sine, hyperbolic cosine, etc. of any number x are functions related to the exponential function e . Their definitions and properties are very similar to the trigonometric functions and are given in Table 1-5. 

So far we have seen that if we begin with the Boltzmann superposition integral and include in that expression a mathematical representation for the stress or strain we apply, it is possible to derive a relationship between the instrumental response and the properties of the material. For an oscillating strain the problem can be solved either using complex number theory or simple trigonometric functions for the deformation applied. Suppose we apply a strain described by a sine wave ... 

Because of the periodic properties of the trigonometric functions we know that the integral on the right of equation... 

In order to extract some more information from the csa contribution to relaxation times, the next step is to switch to a molecular frame (x,y,z) where the shielding tensor is diagonal (x, y, z is called the Principal Axis System i.e., PAS). Owing to the properties reported in (44), the relevant calculations include the transformation of gzz into g x, yy, and g z involving, for the calculation of spectral densities, the correlation function of squares of trigonometric functions such as cos20(t)cos20(O) (see the previous section and more importantly Eq. (29) for the definition of the normalized spectral density J((d)). They yield for an isotropic reorientation (the molecule is supposed to behave as a sphere)... 

The solutions of a diffusion equation under the transient case (non-steady state) are often some special functions. The values of these functions, much like the exponential function or the trigonometric functions, cannot be calculated simply with a piece of paper and a pencil, not even with a calculator, but have to be calculated with a simple computer program (such as a spreadsheet program, but see later comments for practical help). Nevertheless, the values of these functions have been tabulated, and are now easily available with a spreadsheet program. The properties of these functions have been studied in great detail, again much like the exponential function and the trigonometric functions. One such function encountered often in one-dimensional diffusion problems is the error function, erf(z). The error function erf(z) is defined by... 

We can regard Fourier transform as decomposing f into trigonometric functions of different frequencies. This spectral decomposition is based on the property... 

In the box, two additional methods to obtain Bessel functions are summarized. The generating function relates Bessel functions to the exponential, Spiegel, 1971[3]. This relation is useful for obtaining properties of the Bessel function for integral n. Recursions of the Bessel functions are generally derived this way. Bessel s integral relates Bessel and trigonometric function. 

Full descriptions of the matrices for the operations in this group will not be given, but the characters can be found by using the properties of a group. Consider the C3 rotation shown in Figure 4-16. Rotation of 120° results in new x and y as shown, which can be described in terms of the vector sums of x and y by using trigonometric functions ... 

Firstly, they provide a means to formulate alternative representations of transcendental functions such as the exponential, logarithm and trigonometric functions introduced in Chapter 2 of Volume 1. Secondly, as a direct result of the above, they also allow us to investigate how an equation describing some physical property behaves for small (or large) values for one of the independent variables.

This is called the circular measure of an angle and, for this reason, trigonometrical functions are sometimes called circular functions. This property is possessed by no plane curve other than the circle. For instance, the hyperbola, though symmetrically placed with respect to its centre, is not at all points equidistant from it. The same thing is true of the ellipse. The parabola has no centre. 

The solution to this equation can be obtained because the function we are after yields the original function times a negative constant when it is differentiated twice. The only real functions with this property are the trigonometric functions sine and cosine (see Appendix 1), so a general solution is then... 

The application of the orthogonality properties of the trigonometric functions yields the coefficients... 

The physical property options are labeled as thermo, fluid package, property package, or databank in common process simulators. There are pure-conponent and mixture sections, as well as a databank. For temperature-dependent properties, different functional forms are used (from extended Antione equation to polynomial to hyperbolic trigonometric functions). The equation appears on the physical property screen or in the help utility. 

The trigonometric functions illustrate a general property of the functions that we deal with. They are single-valued for each value of the angle a, there is one and only one value of the sine, one and only one value of the cosine, and so on. The sine and cosine functions are continuous everywhere. The tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant functions are piecewise continuous (discontinuous only at isolated points, where they diverge).
