Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In quantum chemistry , a complete active space is a type of classification of molecular orbitals . Spatial orbitals are classified as belonging to three classes core , always hold two electrons active , partially occupied orbitals virtual , always hold zero electrons This classification allows to develop a set of Slater determinant s for the description of the wavefunction as a linear combination of these determinants. Based on the freedom left for the occupation in the active orbitals, a certain number of electrons are allowed to populate all the active orbitals in appropriate combinations, developing a finite size space of determinants. The resulting wavefunction is of Multireference configuration interaction multireference nature, and is blessed by additional properties if compared to other selection schemes. The active classification can theoretically be extended to all the molecular orbitals, to obtain a full CI treatment. In practice, this choice is limited, due to the high computational cost needed to optimize a large CAS wavefunction on medium and large molecular systems. A Complete Active Space wavefunction is used to obtain a first approximation of the so called static correlation , which represents the contribution needed to describe bond dissociation processes correctly. This requires a wavefunction that includes a set of electronic configurations with high and very similar importance. Dynamic correlation , representing the contribution to the energy brought by the instantaneous interaction between electrons, is normally small and can be recovered with good accuracy by means of perturbative evaluations, such as CASPT2 and NEVPT .

In the mathematics mathematical theory of metricspace s, a metric map is a Function mathematics function between metric spaces that does not increase any distance such functions are always continuous function continuous . These maps are the morphism s in the category of metric spaces , Met Isbell 1964 . They are also called Lipschitz continuity Lipschitz functions with Lipschitz constant 1, nonexpansive maps , nonexpanding maps , weak contractions , or short maps . Specifically, suppose that X and Y are metric spaces and is a function mathematics function from X to Y . Then we have a metric map when, for any points x and y in X , math d Y f x ,f y leq d X x,y . math Here d sub X sub and d sub Y sub denote the metrics on X and Y respectively. A map between metric spaces is an isometry if and only if 1 it is metric, 2 it is a bijection , and 3 its inverse functions inverse is also metric. The composite function composite of metric maps is also metric. Thus metric spaces and metric maps form a category theory category Category of metric spaces Met Met is a subcategory of the category of metric spaces and Lipschitz functions, and the isomorphism s in Met are the isometries. One can say that is strictly metric if the inequality mathematics inequality is strict for every two different points. Then a contraction mapping is strictly metric, but not necessarily the other way around. Note that an isometry is never strictly metric, except in the degeneracy mathematics degenerate case of the empty set empty space or a single point space. References cite journal author Isbell, J.

A metricspace math P math ...In game theory , the Helly metric is used to assess the distance between two strategy strategies . It is named for Eduard Helly . Consider a game math Gamma left langle mathfrak X , mathfrak Y ,H right rangle math , between player I and II. Here, math mathfrak X math and math mathfrak Y math are the sets of pure strategy pure strategies for players I and II respectively and math H H cdot, cdot math is the payoff function. in other words, if player I plays math x in mathfrak X math and player II plays math y in mathfrak Y math , then player I pays math H x,y math to player II . The Helly metric math rho x 1,x 2 math is defined as math rho x 1,x 2 sup y in mathfrak Y left H x 1,y H x 2,y right . math The metric so defined is symmetric, reflexive, and satisfies the triangle inequality . The Helly metric measures distances between strategies, not in terms of the differences between the strategies themselves, but in terms of the consequences of the stragegies. Two strategies are distant if their payoffs are different. Note that math rho x 1,x 2 0 math does not imply math x 1 x 2 math but it does imply that the consequences of math x 1 math and math x 2 math are identical and indeed this induces an equivalence relation . If one stipulates that math rho x 1,x 2 0 math implies math x 1 x 2 math then the topology so induced is called the natural topology . The metric on the space of player ... in math P math . A game that is conditionally compact in the Helly metric has an math epsilon math optimal strategy for any math epsilon 0 math . Other results If the space of strategies for one player is conditionally compact, then the space of strategies for the other player is conditionally compact in their Helly metric . References N. N.
