GF Method - Relation With Eckart Conditions

Relation With Eckart Conditions

From the invariance of the internal coordinates St under overall rotation and translation of the molecule, follows the same for the linearized coordinates stA. It can be shown that this implies that the following 6 conditions are satisfied by the internal coordinates,


\sum_{A=1}^N \mathbf{s}^t_{A} = 0\quad\mathrm{and}\quad
\sum_{A=1}^N \mathbf{R}^0_A\times \mathbf{s}^t_A= 0, \quad t=1,\ldots,3N-6.

These conditions follow from the Eckart conditions that hold for the displacement vectors,

 \sum_{A=1}^N M_A\; \mathbf{d}_{A} = 0 \quad\mathrm{and}\quad
\sum_{A=1}^N M_A\; \mathbf{R}^0_{A} \times \mathbf{d}_{A} = 0.

Famous quotes containing the words relation with, relation and/or conditions:

    There is undoubtedly something religious about it: everyone believes that they are special, that they are chosen, that they have a special relation with fate. Here is the test: you turn over card after card to see in which way that is true. If you can defy the odds, you may be saved. And when you are cleaned out, the last penny gone, you are enlightened at last, free perhaps, exhilarated like an ascetic by the falling away of the material world.
    Andrei Codrescu (b. 1947)

    The proper study of mankind is man in his relation to his deity.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Statecraft is soulcraft. Just as all education is moral education because learning conditions conduct, much legislation is moral legislation because it conditions the action and the thought of the nation in broad and important spheres of life.
    George F. Will (b. 1941)
