Bivariate Matrix Functions

Daniel Kressner

A definition of bivariate matrix functions is introduced and some theoretical as well as algorithmic aspects are analyzed. It is shown that our framework naturally extends the usual notion of (univariate) matrix functions and allows to unify existing resul ...

Recognizing molecular patterns by machine learning: An agnostic structural definition of the hydrogen bond

Michele Ceriotti, Piero Gasparotto

The concept of chemical bonding can ultimately be seen as a rationalization of the recurring structural patterns observed in molecules and solids. Chemical intuition is nothing but the ability to recognize and predict such patterns, and how they transform ...
