چکیده

We illustrate the main features of a recently proposed method based on ensemble density functional theory to divide rigorously a complex molecular system into its parts (J. Phys. Chem. A 2007, 111, 2229). The illustrative system is an analog of the hydrogen molecule for which analytic expressions for the densities of the parts (hydrogen "atoms") are found along with the "partition potential" that enters the theory. While previous formulations of chemical reactivity theory lead to zero, or undefined, values for the chemical hardness of the isolated parts, we demonstrate they can acquire a finite and positive hardness within the present formulation.

An analytic torsion for graded D-branes

I consider the semiclassical approximation of the graded Chern-Simons field theories describing certain systems of topological A type branes. I show that the semiclassical partition function can be expressed in terms of a certain (differential) numerical invariant which is a version of the analytic torsion of Ray and Singer, but associated with flat graded superbundles. I also discuss a ‘twiste...

Q - system Cluster Algebras , Paths and Total Positivity ?

In the first part of this paper, we provide a concise review of our method of solution of the Ar Q-systems in terms of the partition function of paths on a weighted graph. In the second part, we show that it is possible to modify the graphs and transfer matrices so as to provide an explicit connection to the theory of planar networks introduced in the context of totally positive matrices by Fom...

Evaluations of the Circuit Partition Polynomial

J. A. Ellis-Monaghan (1998, J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 74, 326–352) used Hopf algebra techniques to prove some beautiful combinatorial interpretations of the Martin polynomial for unoriented graphs. Our aim here is to give very simple proofs of similar interpretations for a considerably wider class of values. The results look particularly simple when formulated for a trivial transform of the Mart...

Application of Graph Theory: Relationship of Topological Indices with the Partition Coefficient (logP) of the Monocarboxylic Acids

It is well known that the chemical behavior of a compound is dependent upon the structure of itsmolecules. Quantitative structure – activity relationship (QSAR) studies and quantitative structure –property relationship (QSPR) studies are active areas of chemical research that focus on the nature ofthis dependency. Topological indices are the numerical value associated with chemical constitution...

Box-Spline Tilings

Abstract. We describe a simple method for generating tilings of IR. The basic tile is defined as Ω := {x ∈ IR : |f(x)| < |f(x+ j)| ∀j ∈ ZZ\0}, with f a real analytic function for which |f(x+ j)| → ∞ as |j| → ∞ for almost every x. We show that the translates of Ω over the lattice ZZ form an essentially disjoint partition of IR. As an illustration of this general result, we consider in detail the...
