Infinitesimal differential diffusion quantum Monte Carlo study of diatomic vibrational frequencies
We show how to extend the formalism of infinitesimal differential diffusion quantum Monte Carlo to the case of higher derivatives of the ground‐state energy of a molecule with respect to the molecular geometry. We use LiH as an example, but the technique can be extended to more complicated, nonliner molecules as well. We obtain good agreement with experimental values for the energy derivatives and for the harmonic and anharmonic frequencies of LiH and LiD, despite using a compact single‐determinant wave function.
In this paper, we consider a network of N identical IEEE 802.11 DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) terminals with RTS/CTS mechanism, each of which is assumed to be saturated. For performance analysis, we propose a simple and efficient mathematical model to derive the statistical characteristics of the network such as the inter-transmission time of packets in the network and the service time (the inter-transmission time of successful packet transmissions) of the network. Numerical results and simulations are provided to validate the accuracy of our model and to study the performance of the IEEE 802.11 DCF network.
