Location of saddle points and minimum energy paths by a constrained simplex optimization procedure

Two methods are proposed, one for the location of saddle points and one for the calculation of steepest-descent paths on multidimensional surfaces. Both methods are based on a constrained simplex optimization technique that avoids the evaluation of gradients or second derivative matrices. Three chemical reactions of increasing structural complexity are studied within the PRDDO SCF approximation. Predicted properties of reaction hypersurfaces are in good overall agreement with those determined by gradient minimization and gradient following algorithms in connection with various ab initio SCF methods. Computational efforts required by the new procedures are discussed.     

Solutions of alkali soaps and water in fatty acids IX. The location of theL 2-phase in three-component systems of sodium soap — fatty acid — water,in view of the occurrence of acid soaps

Previous studies of the occurrence of acid soaps in systems containing a longchain sodium soap and the corresponding fatty acid, and the study of phase equilibria in the system sodium octanoate — octanoic acid — water, performed by our group at the beginning of the 1960s, show that the isotropic liquidL ₂-phase of the last mentioned system in its whole region of existence is situated in that part in which acid soaps occur. This provides an explanation for the fact that theL ₂-phase itself contains acid sodium octanoates in all regions. TheL ₂-phase has its origin in the water-free melt of fatty acid and neutral soap in which these components react with each other under the formation of an acid soap. When water is added to the system, this water-free acid soap is transformed into different hydrated acid soaps. In a large region of concentration, there is an extremely close relation between theL ₂-phase and the liquid-crystalline lamellarD-phase, which itself consists of hydrated acid soaps. At its outermost water-rich tip, theL ₂-phase is in equilibrium with theL ₁-phase of the system, just above the+LAC, that is, with the most dilute aqueous soap solution in which acid soap still may be formed in aqueous environment. Formation of acid soap is a fundamental requirement for the existence of this isotropic liquidL ₂-phase.     

Facility location in the presence of forbidden regions,I: Formulation and the case of Euclidean distance with one forbidden circle

A constrained form of the Weber problem is formulated in which no path is permitted to enter a prespecified forbidden region $\text{R}$ of the plane. Using the calculus of variations the shortest path between two points $\text{x}\text{,}\text{y}\text{?}\text{R}$ which does not intersect $\text{R}$ is determined. If $\text{d(}\text{x}\text{,}\text{y}\text{)}$ is unconstrained distance, we denote the shortes distance along a feasible path by $\text{d}\text{(}\text{x}\text{y}\text{)}$. The constrained Weber problem is, then: given points $\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{j}}\text{?}\text{R}$ and positive weights w_j, j = 1,2,…,n, find a point $\text{x}\text{?}\text{R}$ such that

$\text{f(}\text{x}\text{)=}\text{Σ}\text{n}\text{j=1}\text{d(}\text{x}\text{,}\text{x}{}_{\mathrm{j}}\text{)}$

is a minimum.An algorithm is formulated for the solution of this problem when $\text{d(}\text{x}\text{,}\text{y}\text{)}$ is Euclidean distance and $\text{R}$ is a single circular region. Numerical results are presented.
