Truncated normal form

If the n 1 frequencies O), are nonresonant, then the truncated normal form (at any order) is integrable. That is, the quantities Ji = j(pj + qj), i = 1, and, f = p qn are integrals of the truncated normal form, and the Hamiltonian can be written as a function of these integrals. In these coordinates the quantity 0/i /0J becomes a constant and the qn-Pn component of Hamilton s equations becomes a simple, 2-DOF saddle. This implies that actions remain constant while passing through the saddle region—a situation that has been numerically observed in realistic examples [63,69].

The problem is understood for the truncated normal form dynamics, but the true dynamics is the one given by the complete Hamiltonian, with the exponentially small remainder ... 

One must bear in mind, however, that a truncated normal form does not always guarantee a complete reconstruction of the dynamics of the original system. For instance, when the truncated normal forms possess additional symmetries, these symmetries are, in principle, broken if the omitted higher-order terms are taken back into account, and this can even lead to an onset of chaos in some regions of the parameter space. These regions are extremely narrow near a bifurcation point of codimension two but their size may expand rapidly as we move away from the bifurcation point over a finite distance. 

The more important resonant condition on HB takes place at (a 1.044, b 0.608) where the saddle value cr vanishes (see Sec. 13.6). Near such a point the local consideration reduces to the corresponding truncated normal form — a one-dimensional Poincare map...

The theory of bifurcations shows that the different types of bifurcations can be described in terms of normal forms, which represent local expansions of the dynamics around the bifurcating periodic orbit [19, 32, 49]. The purpose of the above mapping is to describe the successive bifurcations of the symmetric-stretch periodic orbit, starting from low energies above the saddle point. Appropriate truncation of the Taylor series of the potential v(q) around <7 = 0, which corresponds to the location of the symmetric-stretch orbit, provides us with the normal forms of the bifurcations [144], The bifurcations relevant for the dissociation dynamics under discussion can be described by truncating at the sixth order in q,... 

The above scenario is accounted for by the normal form (4.9) truncated at fourth order in q with k = v = a = p = 0 and x < 0, taking p as the bifurcation parameter, which increases with energy (p thus plays a similar role as the total energy in the actual Hamiltonian dynamics). The antipitchfork bifurcation occurs at pa = 0. The fixed points of the mapping (4.8) are given by p = 0 and dv/dq = 0. Since the potential is quartic, there are either one or three fixed points that correspond to the shortest periodic orbits 0, 1, and 2 of the flow. 

From a practical point of view, we shall never be able to perform that whole normalization process for a generic Hamiltonian. However, we can perform a finite number, r say, of steps, and consider the Hamiltonian H r) truncated at the column r of the diagram above as the approximate normal form that we are interested in. Let us call H r p r q ) the truncated Hamiltonian. Then the canonical equations for H r p r q ) admit the simple solution...

First dimension immobiUzed pH 3 to 10 gradient, second dimension 9 to 16% gradient polyacrylamide gel. Retinol binding protein appeared as two large spots. This particular pattern modification is related to the accumulation, in renal failure, of a truncated variant of retinol binding protein (-266 Da) (arrow on the left) relative to the normal form (arrow on the right) (Kieman et al., 2002).

The main apohpoprotein of LDL (P-lipopro-tein) is apohpoprotein B (B-lOO) and is found also in VLDL. Chylomicrons contain a truncated form of apo B (B-48) that is synthesized in the intestine, while B-lOO is synthesized in the hver. Apo B-lOO is one of the longest single polypeptide chains known, having 4536 amino acids and a molecular mass of 550,000 Da. Apo B-48 (48% of B-lOO) is formed from the same mRNA as apo B-lOO after the introduction of a stop signal by an RNA editing enzyme. Apo C-1, C-11, and C-111 are smaller polypeptides (molecular mass 7000— 9000 Da) freely transferable between several different hpoproteins. Apo E is foimd in VLDL, HDL, chylomicrons, and chylomicron remnants it accounts for 5— 10% of total VLDL apohpoproteins in normal subjects. 

Here is the soft and normally attractive part of the pair potential. This simple bilinear form of functional lacks correlation effects except that which is introduced by the truncation of the integral at the onset of the inner hard part of the potential. We are then using an extended form of the mean field approximation as did van der Waals in his original... 

Some patients with familial hypercholesterolemia produce a truncated form of the LDL receptor, termed the Lebanese allele, which lacks three of the five domains of the protein and causes it to be retained in the endoplasmic reticulum. Analysis of the mutant gene indicated that the sequence of the protein was normal up to the point where it terminated. 

Other half plus the minority cations (Te) occupy the B sites of the normal spinel structure. The structure is shown in Fig. 32, which shows that the C 9-like network of comer-connected tetrahedra (of atoms on B sites) is now composed of strictly alternating Li and Te atoms. The truncated tetrahedral interstices thus formed are centred by the remaining Li atoms (on the A sites).
