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 foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.
    John Dewey (1859–1952)
