Discrete skeletons of continua in the universal molecule model
Paul G. Mezey · AIP conference proceedings · 2012
The earlier Universal Molecule model has provided some shortcuts to the recognition of interrelations between molecules, using formal transformations converting various molecules into one another. Often, the transformations are based on a formal replacement of integer parameters with continuous variables. Whereas the simplest replacement of individual discrete quantities with continua corresponds to a one-dimensional extension of the model, entire skeletons and higher-dimensional discrete structures can also be extended to higher dimensional continua. Some of these possibilities are discussed within the context of the Universal Molecule Model.
