The paradox is resolved by a deeper study [11] of wave stability. 

As an extra check, a perturbed constant-pressure piston was run without chemical reaction and with a pressure equal to the ideal gas spike pressure of 84 for / = 2. The perturbation decayed as expected. The / = 2, Q = 50 ideal gas detonation that is stable to one-dimensional perturbations is unstable to two-dimensional perturbations. The results agree with Erpenbeck s predictions and give us further confidence in our numerical approach for determining detonation wave stability. 

The described approach is suitable for the reconstruction of complicated dielectric profiles of high contrast and demonstrates good stability with respect to the noise in the input data. However, the convergence and the stability of the solution deteriorate if the low-frequency information is lacking. Thus, the method needs to be modified before using in praetiee with real microwave and millimeter wave sourees and antennas, whieh are usually essentially band-limited elements. 

EIOs), backward wave oscillators (BWOs) or magnetrons are available. Their spectral characteristics may be favourable however, they typically require highly stabilized high-voltage power supplies. Still higher frequencies may be obtained using far-infrared gas lasers pumped for example by a CO- laser [49]. 

Stabilizing resonances also occur in other systems. Some well-known ones are the allyl radical and square cyclobutadiene. It has been shown that in these cases, the ground-state wave function is constructed from the out-of-phase combination of the two components [24,30]. In Section HI, it is shown that this is also a necessary result of Pauli s principle and the permutational symmetry of the polyelectronic wave function When the number of electron pairs exchanged in a two-state system is even, the ground state is the out-of-phase combination [28]. Three electrons may be considered as two electron pairs, one of which is half-populated. When both electron pahs are fully populated, an antiaromatic system arises ("Section HI). 

As shown in Figure 27, an in-phase combination of type-V structures leads to another A] symmetry structures (type-VI), which is expected to be stabilized by allyl cation-type resonance. However, calculation shows that the two shuctures are isoenergetic. The electronic wave function preserves its phase when tr ansported through a complete loop around the degeneracy shown in Figure 25, so that no conical intersection (or an even number of conical intersections) should be enclosed in it. This is obviously in contrast with the Jahn-Teller theorem, that predicts splitting into A and states. 

Use a forced convergence method. Give the calculation an extra thousand iterations or more along with this. The wave function obtained by these methods should be tested to make sure it is a minimum and not just a stationary point. This is called a stability test. 

This experiment describes the determination of the stability (cumulative formation) constant for the formation of Pb(OH)3 by measuring the shift in the half-wave potential for the reduction of Pb + as a function of the concentration of OH . The influence of ionic strength is also considered, and results are extrapolated to zero ionic strength to determine the thermodynamic formation constant.

Figure 2.6. (a) Compression wave steepens to a shock wave in a medium for which stability criteria are satisfied, where the trailing part of the wave overtakes the leading part, (b) Expansion wave broadens as the leading part of the wave outruns the trailing part. 

The left-hand side of the inequality is the slope of the Rayleigh line, and the right-hand side is the slope of the isentrope centered on the initial state. We showed in Section 2.5 that the isentrope and Hugoniot are tangent at the initial state. Thus, the stability condition which requires that the shock wave be supersonic with respect to the material ahead of it is equivalent to the statement that the Rayleigh line must be steeper than the Hugoniot at the initial state. 

The stability condition that the shock wave is subsonic with respect to the shocked material behind it is equivalent to the statement that the Hugoniot must be steeper than the Rayleigh line at the final state. 

It should be noted that not all materials satisfy these stability criteria. For example, over a range of low pressures, the sound speed of fused silica decreases with pressure, so shock waves cannot be supported. As pointed...
