Vector representation expansion

We begin with a powerful solution method that can be applied for general 3D flows whenever the boundaries of the domain can be expressed as a coordinate surface for some orthogonal coordinate system. In this case, we can use an invariant vector representation of the velocity and pressure fields to simultaneously represent (solve) the solutions for a complete class of related problems by using so-called vector harmonic functions, rather than solving one specific problem at a time, as is necessary when we are using standard eigenfunction expansion techniques. 

We turn now to the orientational correlations which are of particular relevance for liquid crystals that is involving the orientations of the molecules with each other, with the vector joining them and with the director [17, 28]. In principal they can be characterised by a pair distribution function but in view of the large number of orientational coordinates the representation of the multi-dimensional distribution can be rather difficult. An alternative is to use distance dependent orientational correlation coefficients which are related to the coefficients in an expansion of the distribution function in an appropriate basis set [17, 28]. 

The obvious disadvantage of this simple LG model is the necessity to cut off the infinite expansion (26) at some order, while no rigorous justification of doing that can be found. In addition, evaluation of the vertex function for all possible zero combinations of the reciprocal wave vectors becomes very awkward for low symmetries. Instead of evaluating the partition function in the saddle point, the minimization of the free energy can be done within the self-consistent field theory (SCFT) [38 -1]. Using the integral representation of the delta functionals, the total partition function, Z [Eq. (22)], can be written as... 

Here, Cys is the Cl vector in the basis of VB structures, projected such that it transforms according to the irreducible representation phi. Because even the standard CASVB approach involves an expansion of Fvb in terms of structures formed from orthogonal molecular orbitals (the transformation given in Eq. (41)), this implementation is completely straightforward. 

We shall introduce the technique of projection operators to determine the appropriate expansion coefficients for symmetry-adapted molecular orbitals. Projection by operators is a generalization of the resolution of an ordinary 3-vector into x, y and z components. The result of applying symmetry projection operators to a function is the expression of this function as a sum of components each of which transforms according to an irreducible representation of the appropriate symmetry group. 

The force acting on any differential segment of a surface can be represented as a vector. The orientation of the surface itself can be defined by an outward-normal unit vector, called n. This force vector, indeed any vector, has direction and magnitude, which can be resolved into components in various ways. Normally the components are taken to align with coordinate directions. The force vector itself, of course, is independent of the particular representation. In fluid flow the force on a surface is caused by the compressive (or expansive) and shearing actions of the fluid as it flows. Thermodynamic pressure also acts to exert force on a surface. By definition, stress is a force per unit area. On any surface where a force acts, a stress vector can also be defined. Like the force the stress vector can be represented by components in various ways. 

For the space group 225 (Fmim or Ojj) write down the coset expansion of the little group G(k) on T. Hence write down an expression for the small representations. State the point group of the k vector P(k) at the symmetry points L(/4 V-i Vi) and X(q a 2a). Work out also the Cartesian coordinates of L and X. Finally, list the space-group representations at L and X. 

To solve the single-particle problem it is convenient to introduce a new representation, where the coefficients ca in the expansion (1) are the components of a vector wave function (we assume here that all states a are numerated by integers)... 

In the previous section we used quaternions to construct a convenient parameterization of the hybridization manifold, using the fact that it can be supplied by the 50(4) group structure. However, the strictly local HOs allow for the quaternion representation for themselves. Indeed, the quaternion was previously characterized as an entity comprising a scalar and a 3-vector part h = (h0, h) = (s, v). This notation reflects the symmetry properties of the quaternion under spatial rotation its first component ho = s does not change under spatial rotation i.e. is a scalar, whereas the vector part h — v — (hx,hy,hz) expectedly transforms as a 3-vector. These are precisely the features which can be easily found by the strictly local HOs the coefficient of the s-orbital in the HO s expansion over AOs does not change under the spatial rotation of the molecule, whereas the coefficients at the p-functions transform as if they were the components of a 3-dimensional vector. Thus each of the HOs located at a heavy atom and assigned to the m-th bond can be presented as a quaternion ... 

The orthogonal characteristic polynomials or eigenpolynomials Qn(u) play one of the central roles in spectral analysis since they form a basis due to the completeness relation (163). They can be computed either via the Lanczos recursion (84) or from the power series representation (114). The latter method generates the expansion coefficients q , -r through the recursion (117). Alternatively, these coefficients can be deduced from the Lanczos recursion (97) for the rth derivative Q /r(0) since we have qni r = (l/r )Q r(0) as in Eq. (122). The polynomial set Qn(u) is the basis comprised of scalar functions in the Lanczos vector space C from Eq. (135). In Eq. (135), the definition (142) of the inner product implies that the polynomials Qn(u) and Qm(u) are orthogonal to each other (for n= m) with respect to the complex weight function dk, as per (166). The completeness (163) of the set Q (u) enables expansion of every function f(u) e C in a series in terms of the... 

Here, both the expansion coefficients and the phase (j) are energy-dependent, and Ai7 is the so-called spectral range of the Hamiltonian, A/f = (iJmax iJmin) /2, where Tfmin and i7max are the minimum and maximum eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian in a finite basis representation. The Chebyshev vectors = Tj H)xo can be iteratively generated from the recursion relation, designed by Mandelshtam and Taylor [221],...

The dimensions of these subspace representations are small enough so that Eqs (274) and (275) may be solved using direct linear equation an matrix eigenvalue equation methods. The computation of the residual vector uses the same matrix-vector products as is required for the construction of the subspace representations of the Hessian blocks. If either of the components of the residual vector are too large, a new expansion vector corresponding to the large residual component may be computed from one of the equations... 

Normally, we would use the unit matrix l2 2 and the vector of Pauli matrices a as basis for this type of expansion, since by using this symmetry-adapted set of matrices one achieves a separation of scalar quantities hx2 f) from quantities transforming as a vector xjr), i.e. a classification with respect to irreducible representations of... 

In the latter expression, the numerator and the denominator can be expanded in powers of 1W diagrammatic representations of their expansions are obtained. Taking (11.3.13) into account, we see that only one piece of chain may end at the points of position vectors r,. . ., r2K and only two (or zero) pieces of chain may end at the other points. Thus, the diagrams contributing to the numerator consist of N chains joining (r1,r2) .. (r2w l,r2W] respectively and of closed chains, without intersections the denominator consists only of closed chains, without intersections. Now, we observe that the closed chains do not contribute, because each closed chain introduces a factor n which tends to zero. Consequently,... 

In addition to the electronically adiabatic representation described by (4) and (5) or, equivalently (57) and (58), other representations can be defined in which the adiabatic electronic wave function basis set used in expansions (4) or (58) is replaced by some other set of functions of the electronic coordinates rel or r. Let us in what follows assume that we have separated the motion of the center of mass G of the system and adopted the Jacobi mass-scaled vectors R and r defined after (52), and in terms of which the adiabatic electronic wave functions are i] l,ad(r q) and the corresponding nuclear wave function coefficients are Xnd (R). The symbol q(R) refers to the set of scalar nuclear position coordinates defined after (56). Let iKil d(r q) label that alternate electronic basis set, which is allowed to be parametrically dependent on q, and for which we will use the designation diabatic. We now proceed to define such a set. LetXn(R) be the nuclear wave function coefficients associated with those diabatic electronic wave functions. As a result, we may rewrite (58) as...
