The above-mentioned technique corresponds to the Roothaan double-Fock operator method. In the present study, A and ix are set to 0.5 and —0.5, which simplify the operators in the left-hand side of Eqs. (14.37) and (14.38) to 0.5(Fc — Fv) for corevalence elements. In this case, the one-electron operator and Coulomb operator in Fc and Fv are canceled out and only exchange terms remain. The virmal-virtual elements of the Fock matrices are arbitrary when we use the double-Fock operator method. The present study adopted Fv as the virtual-virtual Fock matrix so that the virtual orbitals of CV-B3LYP are close to those of B3LYP. 

With augmented reahty, semitransparent data glasses are used, which make it possible for computergenerated objects and information to be linked by superimposing them with the perception of the physical environment. Parts of the physical environment remain perceptible at the same time that virtual elements contribute to an enrichment of information. 

Hybrid System. The term "hybrid is referred to anything that is the product of elements of different nature DRAE [8]. In this case, the difference of nature generating the "hybridization considers real elements (based on a physical reality) and virtual elements (based on virtual reality) and produces a combined use of both. 

Virtual Reality has been widely used in manufacturing systems simulation, Rubio [9], Sanz-Lobera [10] or Kadir et al [11], but it has not been employed in combination with real elements. In this way. Augmented Reality (AR) also combines real and virtual elements in manufacturing simulations. Nee et al [12], but in AR real and virtual elements develop actions of different nature and works with elements whose behavior is clearly different. In a hybrid FMS, real and virtual elements of the same nature co-exist and work together. 

The modularity raised to the control of the CFF-ETSIA allows a configuration in which virtual and real elements can co-exist within the system. In this case, unlike the previously mentioned AR, a real-machine-tools and virtual machine-tools will perform the same actions and will need the same control and information flow, no matter if they are real or virtual. This fact can be very useful in analyzing the behavior of the system when new elements are incorporated. The use of virtual elements allows knowing the settings of the new element behavior. It also shows how it affects the rest of the elements, and experimentally determines the changes produced in process parameters such as production time, or occupation levels of machines, everything before acquiring the real equipment.

Virtual element software. The program, whose interface is depicted in Fig. 3, is similar in appearance to the interface of the real element described in the preceding paragraph, but internally its structure and operation differ substantially. 

Virtual elements creation. As indicated above, virtual elements are a virtual reality representation based on real elements. In the eurrent work, the communication interface between the control elements and the CFF-ETSIA has been established. This means that the level of detail of the... 

The term Augmented Reality (AR) was introduced in the early 1990s [1] to designate a specific form of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), in which views of the real world are enhanced by computer-generated content [2]. The real and virtual elements in an AR system are semantically and spatially related. Compared... 

Augmented Reality (AR) consists of the combination of the real world with virtual elements through a camera in real time. This emerging technology has already been applied in industrial fields such as production and maintenance with several benefits, e.g. time reduction to locate and perform a task, improvement of the learning process and increment of overall efficiency [1, 2],... 

This independence of a specific representation makes it possible to use new concepts for the computational process, based on real elements such as chemical reactions and quantum mechanical devices, or on virtual elements such as cellular automata and populations of artificial genes. It is important to realize, however, that molecular and quantum computers are real physical systems with noise and imperfections not envisaged by the concept of a purely logically working computer. Therefore, on the one hand, error correcting devices play an important role in these systems, while on the other hand, computational errors in biological systems are... 

The identification (10.3.9) fixes all the elements of the Fock matrix by a single, simple expression. Nevertheless, it should be emphasized that there is an element of arbitrariness in the construction of the Fock matrix and that our stated requirements on the effective Hamiltonian do not fix the Fock matrix uniquely. We may, in particular, add any combination of two-electron terms to the occupied-occupied and virtual-virtual blocks of the Fock matrix without affecting the fulfilment of our requirements. It is therefore important to examine the occupied-occupied and virtual-virtual elements of this matrix in more detail to see if some additional justification for the identification (10.3.9) can be obtained from these elements. Expanding the (anti)commutators, we obtain for the diagonal elements... 

In calculating the canonical Hartree-Fock orbitals, we carry out a full diagonalization of the Fock matrix. Complete diagonalization is not necessary, however, to ensure that the elements of the electronic gradient vanish. Indeed, any set of orbitals that brings the Fock matrix into block-diagonal form with vanishing occupied-virtual elements... 

From (10.8.29) and (10.8.31), we note that the construction of the active Fock matrix and of the 0 matrix requires and operations, respectively. The construction of the generalized Fock matrix from the inactive and active Fock matrices and from the Q matrix thus scales as max(n 7, n A, nA ), which should be compared with nO for (10.8.23). The use of inactive and active Fock matrices is clearly advantageous for systems with a large number of inactive orbitals and a small number of active orbitals. If all the occupied orbitals are active, then the two procedures become equivalent. Conversely, for closed-shell systems, the construction of the generalized Fock matrix via the inactive Fock matrix requires only n I operations. If only those elements that are needed for the gradient are calculated (the inactive-virtual elements), then the operation count reduces to I V. 

The evaluation of the Hessian elements in (10.8.55) requires only operations and thus scales as the fourth power of the size of the system (provided the two-electron MO integrals are available). This cost may be compared with the calculation of the corresponding inactive-virtual elements of the inactive Fock matrix (needed for the gradient of closed-shell states), which requires I V operations. 

A comparison of (10.9.21) and (10.9.22) suggests the following identifications for the occupied-occupied and virtual-virtual elements of the Fock matrix ...
