Within the framework of an adequate spectral representation, the geometrical description of an N-atom molecular system by n=N−1 Jacobi relative position vectors is shown to be particularly advantageous with regard to the criterion of prediagonalization of the matrix representing the kinetic energy operator.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
