Abstract:
We propose a new method to solve a system of complex ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with hidden hierarchy. Given a complex system of the ODE, the hierarchy of the system is generally hidden. Once we reveal the hierarchy of the system, the system can be reduced into subsystems called slow and fast subsystems. This division of slow and fast subsystems reduces the analysis and hence reduces the computation time, which can be expensive. In our new method, we first apply the singularly perturbed vector field method that is the global quasi-linearization method. This method exposes the hierarchy of a given complex system. Subsequently, we apply a version of the homotopy analysis method called the method of directly defining the inverse mapping. We applied our new method to the immunotherapy of advanced prostate cancer.

Vector Algebra: Graphical Method
We use the laws of geometry to construct resultant vectors, followed by trigonometry to find vector magnitudes and directions. For a geometric construction of the sum of two vectors in a plane, we follow the parallelogram rule. Suppose two vectors are at arbitrary positions. Translate either one of...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
Crystal Field Theory - Tetrahedral and Square Planar Complexes
Crystal field theory (CFT) is applicable to molecules in geometries other than octahedral. In octahedral complexes, the lobes of the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals point directly at the ligands. For tetrahedral complexes, the d orbitals remain in place, but with only four ligands located between the axes. None of the orbitals points directly at the tetrahedral ligands. However, the dx2−y2 and dz2 orbitals (along the Cartesian axes) overlap with the ligands less than the dxy,...
