It is found that the calculated strength distribution of the $2^+$ states has physically reasonable behavior and that the strength function is practically positive definite though the non-hermitian hamiltonian matrix obtained from TDDM does not guarantee it. A relation to an extended RPA theory with hermiticity is also investigated. It is found that the density-matrix formalism is a good approximation to the hermitian extended RPA theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-05-29T03:47:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "time-dependent density-matrix theory", "eigenstates", "extended time-dependent hartree-fock theory", "non-hermitian hamiltonian matrix", "hermitian extended rpa theory" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 619873 } } }
