| 11. | Corner transfer matrices are related to the partition function in a simple way.
|
| 12. | "Z " is called the partition function of the system.
|
| 13. | See statistical thermodynamics and Partition function ( statistical mechanics ).
|
| 14. | Where Q is the partition function for the canonical ensemble.
|
| 15. | In the canonical ensemble, the partition function of the system can be written as:
|
| 16. | A typical application is the calculation of a thermodynamic potential from a partition function.
|
| 17. | This is a closed and exact expression for the partition function of the system.
|
| 18. | The denominator of the right side is the partition function.
|
| 19. | This accelerated algorithm truncates the partition function by ignoring contributions of certain conformational states.
|
| 20. | The denominator, is the partition function of a single mode and makes properly normalized:
