Solution of the time dependent Dirac-Fock-Slater equation for many-electron collisions systems using a time window method

We present a new scheme to solve the time dependent Dirac-Fock-Slater equation (TDDFS) for heavy many electron ion-atom collision systems. Up to now time independent self consistent molecular orbitals have been used to expand the time dependent wavefunction and rather complicated potential coupling matrix elements have been neglected. Our idea is to minimize the potential coupling by using the time dependent electronic density to generate molecular basis functions. We present the first results for 16 MeV S{^16+} on Ar.

On CD-systems of stateless deterministic R-automata with window size one

We study cooperating distributed systems (CD-systems) of restarting automata that are very restricted: they are deterministic, they cannot rewrite, but only delete symbols, they restart immediately after performing a delete operation, they are stateless, and they have a read/write window of size 1 only, that is, these are stateless deterministic R(1)-automata. We study the expressive power of these systems by relating the class of languages that they accept by mode =1 computations to other well-studied language classes, showing in particular that this class only contains semi-linear languages, and that it includes all rational trace languages. In addition, we investigate the closure and non-closure properties of this class of languages and some of its algorithmic properties.

On Globally Deterministic CD-Systems of Stateless R-Automata with Window Size One

It is known that cooperating distributed systems (CD-systems) of stateless deterministic restarting automata with window size 1 accept a class of semi-linear languages that properly includes all rational trace languages. Although the component automata of such a CD-system are all deterministic, in general the CD-system itself is not, as in each of its computations, the initial component and the successor components are still chosen nondeterministically. Here we study CD-systems of stateless deterministic restarting automata with window size 1 that are themselves completely deterministic. In fact, we consider two such types of CD-systems, the strictly deterministic systems and the globally deterministic systems.
