Coupled cluster

Coupled cluster (CC) is a numerical technique used for describing many-body systems. Its most common use is as one of several post-Hartree–Fock ab initio quantum chemistry methods in the field of computational chemistry, but it is also used in nuclear physics. Coupled cluster essentially takes the basic Hartree–Fock molecular orbital method and constructs multi-electron wavefunctions using the exponential cluster operator to account for electron correlation. Some of the most accurate calculations for small to medium-sized molecules use this method. The method was initially developed by and in the 1950s for studying nuclear-physics phenomena, but became more frequently used when in 1966 Jiří Čížek (and later together with Josef Paldus) reformulated the method for electron correlation in atoms and molecules. It is now one of the most prevalent methods in quantum chemistry that includes electronic correlation. CC theory is simply the perturbative variant of the many-electron theory (MET) of Oktay Sinanoğlu, which is the exact (and variational) solution of the many-electron problem, so it was also called "coupled-pair MET (CPMET)". J. Čížek used the correlation function of MET and used Goldstone-type perturbation theory to get the energy expression, while original MET was completely variational. Čížek first developed the linear CPMET and then generalized it to full CPMET in the same work in 1966. He then also performed an application of it on the benzene molecule with Sinanoğlu in the same year. Because MET is somewhat difficult to perform computationally, CC is simpler and thus, in today's computational chemistry, CC is the best variant of MET and gives highly accurate results in comparison to experiments.

Hierarchical Clustering 3: single-link vs. complete-link

[http://bit.ly/s-link] Agglomerative clustering needs a mechanism for measuring the distance between two clusters, and we have many different ways of measuring such a distance. We explain the similarities and differences between single-link, complete-link, average-link, centroid method and

Clustering 1: monothetic vs. polythetic

Full lecture: http://bit.ly/K-means The aim of clustering is to partition a population into sub-groups (clusters). Clusters can be monothetic (where all cluster members share some common property) or polythetic (where all cluster members are similar to each other in some sense).

Introduction to Clustering

We will look at the fundamental concept of clustering, different types of clustering methods and the weaknesses. Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that consists of grouping data points and creating partitions based on similarity. The ultimate goal is to find groups of simila

What are Connected Graphs? | Graph Theory

What is a connected graph in graph theory? That is the subject of today's math lesson! A connected graph is a graph in which every pair of vertices is connected, which means there exists a path in the graph with those vertices as endpoints. We can think of it this way: if, by traveling acr
