SVT–OZ and notation =================== We derive the linear-algebra form of the SVT--OZ relation :cite:`Seuferling.1989,Shaffer.2017` for a general :math:`M`-component, :math:`M`-temperature plasma. First, we use the explicit :math:`M=2` case as a warm-up, then we extend this to the full formula for the :math:`M^2 \times M^2` matrix entries. Consider :math:`M` species (note that with electrons included in the calculation, this means: M-1 ions plus electron) with number densities :math:`\{n_a\}`, masses :math:`\{m_a\}`, and temperatures :math:`\{T_a\}` (:math:`a=1,\dots,M`). In :math:`k`-space, the multi-component SVT–OZ relation can be obtained by extending the work of :cite:`Shaffer.2017` through summation over all species, yielding .. math:: \hat h_{ab} =\hat c_{ab} +\sum_{s=1}^M n_s\frac{m_{ab}\,T_{as}}{m_a\,T_{ab}}\;\hat c_{as}\hat h_{sb} +\sum_{s=1}^M n_s\frac{m_{ab}\,T_{sb}}{m_b\,T_{ab}}\;\hat h_{as}\hat c_{sb}, \qquad a,b\in\{1,\dots,M\}. \label{eq:svt-oz} The mass-weighted cross temperatures and reduced masses are .. math:: \begin{aligned} m_{ab}&=\frac{m_a m_b}{m_a+m_b}, & T_{ab}&=\frac{m_a T_b + m_b T_a}{m_a+m_b}, \label{eq:def-Tab-mab}\\ T_{as}&=\frac{m_a T_s + m_s T_a}{m_a+m_s}, & T_{sb}&=\frac{m_s T_b + m_b T_s}{m_s+m_b}. \end{aligned} For brevity define .. math:: \alpha_{abs}=n_s\,\frac{m_{ab}\,T_{as}}{m_a\,T_{ab}}, \qquad \beta_{abs}=n_s\,\frac{m_{ab}\,T_{sb}}{m_b\,T_{ab}}. \label{eq:def-alpha-beta} Moving all terms to the left, except :math:`\hat c_{ab}`. .. math:: :label: svt-oz-LHS \hat h_{ab} -\sum_{s=1}^M \alpha_{abs}\,\hat c_{as}\,\hat h_{sb} -\sum_{s=1}^M \beta_{abs}\,\hat h_{as}\,\hat c_{sb} =\hat c_{ab}. In real space we use the HNC closure with the *cross* temperature :math:`T_{ab}`, .. math:: \ln g_{ab}(r)=-\beta_{ab}V_{ab}(r)+N_{ab}(r),\qquad \beta_{ab}=\frac{1}{k_B T_{ab}},\quad h_{ab}=g_{ab}-1,\quad N_{ab}=h_{ab}-c_{ab}. \label{eq:hnc-closure} For isotropic fields we use the 3D radial transforms .. math:: \begin{aligned} \hat f(k)&=\frac{4\pi}{k}\int_0^\infty r\,f(r)\sin(kr)\,dr, & f(r)&=\frac{1}{2\pi^2 r}\int_0^\infty k\,\hat f(k)\sin(kr)\,dk. \label{eq:radialFT} \end{aligned} For two-component plasma :math:`M{=}2` system --------------------------------------------- For :math:`M{=}2`, the four unknowns are .. math:: \mathrm{vec}(\hat H)= \begin{bmatrix}\hat h_{11}&\hat h_{12}&\hat h_{21}&\hat h_{22}\end{bmatrix}^{\!\top}\!, \qquad \mathrm{vec}(\hat C)= \begin{bmatrix}\hat c_{11}&\hat c_{12}&\hat c_{21}&\hat c_{22}\end{bmatrix}^{\!\top}. Writing :eq:`svt-oz-LHS` for :math:`(a,b)=(1,1),(1,2),(2,1),(2,2)` gives .. math:: \begin{aligned} \hat{h}_{11} - \alpha_{111}\, \hat{c}_{11}\, \hat{h}_{11} - \alpha_{112}\, \hat{c}_{12}\, \hat{h}_{21} - \beta_{111}\, \hat{h}_{11}\, \hat{c}_{11} - \beta_{112}\, \hat{h}_{12}\, \hat{c}_{21} &= \hat{c}_{11},\\ \hat{h}_{12} - \alpha_{121}\, \hat{c}_{11}\, \hat{h}_{12} - \alpha_{122}\, \hat{c}_{12}\, \hat{h}_{22} - \beta_{121}\, \hat{h}_{11}\, \hat{c}_{12} - \beta_{122}\, \hat{h}_{12}\, \hat{c}_{22} &= \hat{c}_{12},\\ \hat{h}_{21} - \alpha_{211}\, \hat{c}_{21}\, \hat{h}_{11} - \alpha_{212}\, \hat{c}_{22}\, \hat{h}_{21} - \beta_{211}\, \hat{h}_{21}\, \hat{c}_{11} - \beta_{212}\, \hat{h}_{22}\, \hat{c}_{21} &= \hat{c}_{21},\\ \hat{h}_{22} - \alpha_{221}\, \hat{c}_{21}\, \hat{h}_{12} - \alpha_{222}\, \hat{c}_{22}\, \hat{h}_{22} - \beta_{221}\, \hat{h}_{21}\, \hat{c}_{12} - \beta_{222}\, \hat{h}_{22}\, \hat{c}_{22} &= \hat{c}_{22}. \end{aligned} Collecting like terms yields the :math:`4\times4` linear system .. math:: \underbrace{ \begin{pmatrix} 1 - (\alpha_{111} + \beta_{111})\hat{c}_{11} & -\beta_{112}\hat{c}_{21} & -\alpha_{112}\hat{c}_{12} & 0 \\ -\beta_{121}\hat{c}_{12} & 1 - \alpha_{121}\hat{c}_{11} - \beta_{122}\hat{c}_{22} & 0 & -\alpha_{122}\hat{c}_{12} \\ -\alpha_{211}\hat{c}_{21} & 0 & 1 - \alpha_{212}\hat{c}_{22} - \beta_{211}\hat{c}_{11} & -\beta_{212}\hat{c}_{21} \\ 0 & -\alpha_{221}\hat{c}_{21} & -\beta_{221}\hat{c}_{12} & 1 - (\alpha_{222} + \beta_{222})\hat{c}_{22} \end{pmatrix} }_{\displaystyle A} \; \underbrace{ \begin{pmatrix} \hat{h}_{11} \\ \hat{h}_{12} \\ \hat{h}_{21} \\ \hat{h}_{22} \end{pmatrix} }_{\displaystyle \mathrm{vec}(\hat H)} = \underbrace{ \begin{pmatrix} \hat{c}_{11} \\ \hat{c}_{12} \\ \hat{c}_{21} \\ \hat{c}_{22} \end{pmatrix} }_{\displaystyle \mathrm{vec}(\hat C)}. \label{eq:M2-matrix} Now we just need to solve this linear equation to get :math:`h_{ab}` From the :math:`M{=}2` pattern to the general :math:`M`: a selector-:math:`\delta` derivation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We now derive the general matrix entries :math:`A[p,q]` Flattening ^^^^^^^^^^^ Fix a wave number :math:`k` and vectorize by lexicographic order. Using 0-based indexing, .. math:: p=\mathrm{idx}(a,b)=(a-1)M+(b-1),\qquad q=\mathrm{idx}(u,v)=(u-1)M+(v-1). \label{eq:idx} Turn the single :math:`s`-sum into a matrix–vector product ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ For a fixed row :math:`(a,b)` (i.e. fixed :math:`p`), rewrite each term of `[eq:svt-oz-LHS] <#eq:svt-oz-LHS>`__ as a sum over *all* column indices :math:`(u,v)` using Kronecker deltas that *select* which columns are hit: .. math:: \begin{aligned} \hat{h}_{ab} &= \sum_{u,v} \delta_{u,a} \delta_{v,b} \, \hat{h}_{uv}, \\ \sum_{s} \alpha_{abs} \, \hat{c}_{as} \, \hat{h}_{sb} &= \sum_{u,v} \left( \sum_{s} \alpha_{abs} \, \hat{c}_{as} \, \delta_{u,s} \, \delta_{v,b} \right) \hat{h}_{uv} = \sum_{u,v} \left( \alpha_{ab,u} \, \hat{c}_{au} \, \delta_{v,b} \right) \hat{h}_{uv}, \\ \sum_{s} \beta_{abs} \, \hat{h}_{as} \, \hat{c}_{sb} &= \sum_{u,v} \left( \sum_{s} \beta_{abs} \, \delta_{u,a} \, \delta_{v,s} \, \hat{c}_{sb} \right) \hat{h}_{uv} = \sum_{u,v} \left( \beta_{ab,v} \, \hat{c}_{vb} \, \delta_{u,a} \right) \hat{h}_{uv}. \end{aligned} Therefore, .. math:: \sum_{u,v}\Big[\, \delta_{u,a}\delta_{v,b} -\alpha_{ab\,u}\,\hat c_{a u}\,\delta_{v,b} -\beta_{ab\,v}\,\hat c_{v b}\,\delta_{u,a}\,\Big]\hat h_{uv} =\hat c_{ab}. Comparing with :math:`\sum_q A[p,q]\,H[q]=C[p]` and :math:`H[q]=\hat h_{uv}`, :math:`C[p]=\hat c_{ab}`, we *define* the entry formula .. math:: \boxed{% A\big[p,q] =A\big[(a{-}1)M+(b{-}1),\ (u{-}1)M+(v{-}1)\big] =\delta_{u,a}\delta_{v,b} -\alpha_{ab\,u}\,\hat c_{a u}\,\delta_{v,b} -\beta_{ab\,v}\,\hat c_{v b}\,\delta_{u,a}.} \label{eq:A-elem}
