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:

    “[Man’s] life consists in a relation with all things: stone, earth, trees, flowers, water, insects, fishes, birds, creatures, sun, rainbow, children, women, other men. But his greatest and final relation is with the sun.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “Whoever has a keen eye for profits, is blind in relation to his craft.”
    —Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    “No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.”
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
