Useful Subspaces

We note that the four summands in Eq. (53) are pairwise orthogonal. This follows easily from the pairwise orthogonality of the w s in Eq. (42). Because every function in the Hilbert space L (R ) can be written in a unique way in this form, we find that the Hilbert space decomposes into four subspaces which are mutually orthogonal. 

If we want to calculate the action of the energy-operator Ho on one of the states tp s,neg, we can proceed as follows. For example. 

In fact, all states with lower index pos have a positive energy, while the states with index neg have a negative energy.

By using subspace minimization of E(S), one can derive in a straightforward way the Hohenberg and Kohn theorem [1] for subspaces, that is, the one-to-one correspondence between subspace density and minimizing subspace of certain dimension M. The next step is to derive the equation for the minimizing subspace of the... 

The matrices in Eqn. (25.2) can be effectively identified using subspace methods. If the sequence of yQi), xQi) and u k) were known, matrices C and D could be computed from Eqa (25.2b) using a least-squares method, with e being the residual. Subsequently, Eqn (25.2a) would form another least squares calculation yielding matrices A, B and K. In other words, when the states x are known, we can use linear least squares to compute the model matrices. 

The states in Eqn (25.2) are now being formed as linear combinations of the -step ahead predicted outputs k= 1, 2,. ..). The literature on state space identification has shown how the states can be estimated directly from the process data by certain projections. (Verhaegen, 1994 van Overschee and de Moor, 1996 Ljung and McKelvey, 1996). The MATLAB function n4sid (Numerical Algorithms for Subspace State Space System Identification) uses subspace methods to identify state space models (Matlab 2000, van Overschee and de Moor, 1996) via singular value decomposition and estimates the state x directly from the data. 

Flead and Silva used occupation numbers obtained from a periodic FIF density matrix for the substrate to define localized orbitals in the chemisorption region, which then defines a cluster subspace on which to carry out FIF calculations [181]. Contributions from the surroundings also only come from the bare slab, as in the Green s matrix approach. Increases in computational power and improvements in minimization teclmiques have made it easier to obtain the electronic properties of adsorbates by supercell slab teclmiques, leading to the Green s fiinction methods becommg less popular [182]. 

A more general update method, widely used in the Gaussian suite of programs [19], is due to Schlegel [13], In this method, the Hessian in the n-dimensional subspace spaimed by taking differences between the current q... 

Krylov Approximation of the Matrix Exponential The iterative approximation of the matrix exponential based on Krylov subspaces (via the Lanczos method) has been studied in different contexts [12, 19, 7]. After the iterative construction of the Krylov basis ui,..., Vn j the matrix exponential is approximated by using the representation A oi H(g) in this basis ...

In another promising method, based on the effective Hamiltonian theory used in quantum chemistry [19], the protein is divided into blocks that comprise one or more residues. The Hessian is then projected into the subspace defined by the rigid-body motions of these blocks. The resulting low frequency modes are then perturbed by the higher... 

Evidence exists that some of the softest normal modes can be associated with experimentally determined functional motions, and most studies apply normal mode analysis to this purpose. Owing to the veracity of the concept of the normal mode important subspace, normal mode analysis can be used in structural refinement methods to gain dynamic information that is beyond the capability of conventional refinement techniques. 

In the stationary methods, it is necessary that G be nonsingular and that p(M) < 1. In the methods of projection, however, Ca varies from step to step and is angular, while p(Ma) = 1. In these methods the vectors 8a are projected, one after another, upon subspaces, each time taking the projection as a correction to be added to xa to produce za+x- At each step the subspace, usually a single vector, must be different from the one before, and the subspaces must periodically span the entire space. Analytically, the method is to make each new residual smaller in some norm than the previous one. Such methods can be constructed yielding convergence for an arbitrary matrix, but they are most useful when the matrix A is positive definite and the norm is sff U. This will be sketched briefly.

The PBL reactor considered in the present study is a typical batch process and the open-loop test is inadequate to identify the process. We employed a closed-loop subspace identification method. This method identifies the linear state-space model using high order ARX model. To apply the linear system identification method to the PBL reactor, we first divide a single batch into several sections according to the injection time of initiators, changes of the reactant temperature and changes of the setpoint profile, etc. Each section is assumed to be linear. The initial state values for each section should be computed in advance. The linear state models obtained for each section were evaluated through numerical simulations. 

Eq. (122) represents a set of algebraic constraints for the vector of species concentrations expressing the fact that the fast reactions are in equilibrium. The introduction of constraints reduces the number of degrees of freedom of the problem, which now exclusively lie in the subspace of slow reactions. In such a way the fast degrees of freedom have been eliminated, and the problem is now much better suited for numerical solution methods. It has been shown that, depending on the specific problem to be solved, the use of simplified kinetic models allows one to reduce the computational time by two to three orders of magnitude [161],... 

We will now discuss an iterative scheme based on the CHF approach outlined in Sections 11 and 111, using the McWeeny procedure [7] for resolving matrices into components, by introducing projection operators R and R2, with respect to the subspaces spanned by occupied and virtual molecular orbitals. 

The set of unit vectors of dimension n defines an n-dimensional rectangular (or Cartesian) coordinate space 5 . Such a coordinate space S" can be thought of as being constructed from n base vectors of unit length which originate from a common point and which are mutually perpendicular. Hence, a coordinate space is a vector space which is used as a reference frame for representing other vector spaces. It is not uncommon that the dimension of a coordinate space (i.e. the number of mutually perpendicular base vectors of unit length) exceeds the dimension of the vector space that is embedded in it. In that case the latter is said to be a subspace of the former. For example, the basis of 5 is ...
