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 and/or conditions:

    The psychoanalysis of individual human beings, however, teaches us with quite special insistence that the god of each of them is formed in the likeness of his father, that his personal relation to God depends on his relation to his father in the flesh and oscillates and changes along with that relation, and that at bottom God is nothing other than an exalted father.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)

    The strong sunlight, the wind from the sea,
    all the conditions of its existence,
    may have flaked off the paint, if ever it was painted,
    and made it homelier than it was.
    Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
