An iterative procedure is also given for computing such a solution.Project supported by the National Science Foundation of China and by the special program of the State Education Commission of China under grant 9033507.     

On the Interaction of Two Finite-Dimensional Quantum Systems

Interaction of quantum system S ^a described by the generalised × eigenvalue equation A| _s =E _s S ^a | _s (s=1,...,) with quantum system S ^b described by the generalised n×n eigenvalue equation B| _i = _i S ^b | _i (i=1,...,n) is considered. With the system S ^a is associated -dimensional space X ^a and with the system S ^b is associated an n-dimensional space X _n ^b that is orthogonal to X ^a . Combined system S is described by the generalised (+n)×(+n) eigenvalue equation [A+B+V]| _k = _k [S ^a +S ^b +P]| _k (k=1,...,n+) where operators V and P represent interaction between those two systems. All operators are Hermitian, while operators S ^a ,S ^b and S=S ^a +S ^b +P are, in addition, positive definite. It is shown that each eigenvalue _{k i} of the combined system is the eigenvalue of the × eigenvalue equation . Operator in this equation is expressed in terms of the eigenvalues _i of the system S ^b and in terms of matrix elements _s |V| _i and _s |P| _i where vectors | _s form a base in X ^a . Eigenstate | _k ^a of this equation is the projection of the eigenstate | _k of the combined system on the space X ^a . Projection | _k ^b of | _k on the space X _n ^b is given by | _k ^b =( _k S ^b –B)^–1(V– _k P})| _k ^a where ( _k S ^b –B)^–1 is inverse of ( _k S ^b –B) in X _n ^b . Hence, if the solution to the system S ^b is known, one can obtain all eigenvalues _{k i} } and all the corresponding eigenstates | _k of the combined system as a solution of the above × eigenvalue equation that refers to the system S ^a alone. Slightly more complicated expressions are obtained for the eigenvalues _{k i} } and the corresponding eigenstates, provided such eigenvalues and eigenstates exist.     

Significance of Non-isothermal Kinetic Data. A statistical study

Arrhenius parameters values, in non-isothermal kinetic vaporisation processes for a series of compounds with related structures, have been calculated. This was made using a method of calculation that allows to find the most probable vaporisation mechanisms. According to this method DTG curves were compared with some theoretical ones reported in literature, whose shape results to be only a function of the mechanisms. In this way the choice of the mathematical functions which can be inserted in the kinetic equations, was influenced by the shape of the DTG plots and other thermal analysis signals thus allowing to choose the most probable mechanisms. The kinetic parameters derived from these mechanisms were compared, using statistical analysis, with those obtained from another method of calculation based on ‘a priori’ vaporisation mechanism chosen for the investigated liquid–gas transition. The standard deviations of the slope and of the intercept, together with the standard deviation and the square correlation coefficient (r ²) of the linear regression equations related to the mechanisms of the two methods were calculated. Student t-test, Fisher F-test, confidence intervals (c.i.) and residuals valueswere also given. Statistical analysis shows that the mechanisms obtained with the former method (diffusive and geometrical models) and the related Arrhenius parameters result to be more significant (in terms of probability) than the corresponding quantities of the latter for which a first-order model was chosen. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

超越方程的诺模图求解

超越方程通常用牛顿法求解；但初始值必须在单根附近才能收敛，当初始值离根较远时则可能发散，以天体力学中的开普勒方程为例，提出用诺模图求解超越方程．它可以快速地求出较精确的初始值，以保证牛顿迭代法的收敛，同时提高迭代敛速，这一方法对于其它超越方程，同样也是有效的．
