Fundamental World of Quantum Chemistry A Tribute to the Memory of Per-Olov Lowdin, Vols. 1-2 Hardcover - 2003 - 1st Edition
by Erkki J. Br?
From the publisher
Looking at the literature, one finds that, in atomic and molecular physics, comparatively little interest has so far been devoted to the GHF- scheme, and the purpose of this paper is to try to focus the interests of some quantum chemists to this rather interesting problem of looking for the "absolute minimum" of the original Hartree-Fock method. (P. -O. Li: iwdin and I. Mayer, Ref. 5, p. 93. ) In view of the complexity of quantum mechanical equations of motion describing atomic, molecular, and solid state phenomena - even when modelling very small systems at the nonrelativistic level within the Born- Oppenheimer approximation - one is obliged to introduce rather drastic approximations in order to proceed. The standard approach in the in- vestigation of the molecular electronic structure is then to rely on the so-called ab initio electronic model Hamiltonian H, which is defined on a suitable finite-dimensional subspace WN of the infinite-dimensional N-electron component of the Fock space F, and to look for the solu- tions of the time-independent Schrodinger equation associated with this model Hamiltonian. The space WN then represents a vector space of N-linear alternating forms, built as the antisymmetrized tensor product of the one-electron space WI, which in turn is spanned by a chosen set of nonorthogonal atomic spin orbitals (ASOs) IXA) == IA)A=I, . . ., M, defining a given ab initio model.

Book Conditions Explained
Biblio’s Book Conditions
-
As NewThe book is pristine and free of any defects, in the same condition as when it was first newly published.
-
Fine (F)A book in fine condition exhibits no flaws. A fine condition book closely approaches As New condition, but may lack the crispness of an uncirculated, unopened volume.
-
Near Fine (NrFine or NF)Almost perfect, but not quite fine. Any defect outside of shelf-wear should be noted.
-
Very Good (VG)A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting.
-
Good (G or Gd.)The average used and worn book that has all pages or leaves present. ‘Good’ items often include writing and highlighting and may be ex-library. Any defects should be noted. The oft-repeated aphorism in the book collecting world is “good isn’t very good.”
-
FairIt is best to assume that a “fair” book is in rough shape but still readable.
-
Poor (P)A book with significant wear and faults. A poor condition book can still make a good reading copy but is generally not collectible unless the item is very scarce. Any missing pages must be specifically noted.
