Rotations and rotation matrices.
نویسنده
چکیده
In molecular replacement, a model, described as a list of orthogonal coordinates, is to be moved into a new position and orientation. The orthogonal coordinate system also has to be related to the crystallographic system, which may not be orthogonal, and crystallographic symmetry must be considered, which applies to coordinates expressed as fractions of the unit cell. Elementary properties of rotation matrices and their representation as polar or Eulerian angles are discussed.

Rotation matrices for real spherical harmonics: general rotations of atomic orbitals in space-fixed axes
The angular factors of atomic orbitals are real spherical harmonics. This is independent of the choice of basis function. In the course of molecular electronic structure calculations, numerous rotations of real spherical harmonics are required in a suitably defined space-fixed co-ordinate system. The origin and axes are space-fixed and rotation matrices defined on a basis of spherical harmonics...

Three-Dimensional Rotations as Products of Simpler Rotations 1. The most general 3 × 3 rotation matrix In a class handout entitled, Three-Dimensional Proper and Improper Rotation Matrices, I derived the following general form for a 3× 3 matrix representation of a proper rotation by an angle θ in a counterclockwise direction about a fixed rotation axis parallel to the unit vector n̂ = (n1, n2, n3...

In this article we introduce the rotations package which provides users with the ability to simulate, analyze and visualize three-dimensional rotation data. More specifically it includes four commonly used distributions from which to simulate data, four estimators of the central orientation, six confidence region estimation procedures and two approaches to visualizing rotation data. All of thes...
متن کاملBilaterally Symmetrical Transformation between Independent Operators and Rotations
This report describes an approach for representation of quantum operators through rotations and rotation through quantum operators. The approach of the proposed method transforms rotation in a kind of a unitary matrix that corresponds to the rotation. Operations with qubits are very similar to the rotation, but with an added phase coefficient. This fact is used to create a process for rotation ...
متن کاملAn economic-risk analysis of alternative rotations by stochastic simulation in Fars province
ABSTRACT - Cultivation of legumes in crop rotations results in atmosphere nitrogen fixation. After harvesting, part of this external nitrogen remains in soil and is used by subsequent crops. This implies that producers would gain from lowering the amount of nitrogen fertilizer in their fields. In this study, stochastic simulation is used to generate probability distributions of net present valu...
متن کاملCoordinate-descent for learning orthogonal matrices through Givens rotations
Optimizing over the set of orthogonal matrices is a central component in problems like sparsePCA or tensor decomposition. Unfortunately, such optimization is hard since simple operations on orthogonal matrices easily break orthogonality, and correcting orthogonality usually costs a large amount of computation. Here we propose a framework for optimizing orthogonal matrices, that is the parallel ...
