Weighted multibody expansions for computing stable structures of multiatom systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of structural relaxations in alloys is described using a multibody energy expansion formalism. N-body potentials in the multibody expansion are computed from energies of isolated clusters, which, in turn, are calculated from empirical potentials or self-consistent quantum mechanical calculations. Convergence characteristics of multibody expansions MBEs are improved by weighting energies obtained from various truncations of many-body expansions in a method called weighted MBE WMBE . It is shown that multibody expansions of many-atom systems can be efficiently constructed using interpolation of isolated cluster energies from databases. In contrast to the method of cluster expansion, WMBE focuses on positional degrees of freedom and, hence, explicitly handles structural relaxations during computations of stable atom clusters and periodic or amorphous phase structures.

Determination of Stability Domains for Nonlinear Dynamical Systems Using the Weighted Residuals Method
Finding a suitable estimation of stability domain around stable equilibrium points is an important issue in the study of nonlinear dynamical systems. This paper intends to apply a set of analytical-numerical methods to estimate the region of attraction for autonomous nonlinear systems. In mechanical and structural engineering, autonomous systems could be found in large deformation problems or c...
متن کاملOn some classes of expansions of ideals in $MV$-algebras
In this paper, we introduce the notions of expansion of ideals in $MV$-algebras, $ (tau,sigma)- $primary, $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean in $ MV- $algebras. We investigate the relations of them. For example, we show that every $ (tau,sigma)$-obstinate ideal of an $ MV-$ algebra is $ (tau,sigma)$-primary and $ (tau,sigma)$-Boolean. In particular, we define an expansion $ ...

At the follow a new simple method for linguistic fuzzy numbers calculations is defined. At the end tw...
متن کاملModeling Multibody Dynamic Systems With Uncertainties. Part I: Theoretical and Computational Aspects
This study explores the use of generalized polynomial chaos theory for modeling complex nonlinear multibody dynamic systems in the presence of parametric and external uncertainty. The polynomial chaos framework has been chosen because it offers an efficient computational approach for the large, nonlinear multibody models of engineering systems of interest, where the number of uncertain paramete...
