From Infection Clusters to Metal Clusters: Significance of the Lowest Occupied Molecular Orbital (LOMO).

ABSTRACT: In this paper, the nature of the lowest-energy electrons is detailed. The orbital occupied by such electrons can be termed the lowest occupied molecular orbital (LOMO). There is a good correspondence between the Hückel method in chemistry and graph theory in mathematics; the molecular orbital, which chemists view as the distribution of an electron with a specific energy, is to mathematicians an algebraic entity, an eigenvector. The mathematical counterpart of LOMO is known as eigenvector centrality, a centrality measure characterizing nodes in networks. It may be instrumental in solving some problems in chemistry, and also it has implications for the challenge facing humanity today. This paper starts with a demonstration of the transmission of infectious disease in social networks, althoug
