Discrete variable representations of differential operators

Abstract: By making use of known properties of orthogonal polynomials the discrete variable representation (DVR) method [J. C. Light, 1. P. Hamilton, and J. V. Lill, J. Chem. Phys. 82, 1400 (1985)] has been rederived. Simple analytical formulas have been obtained for the matrix elements of DVRs of differential operators which may appear in the rovibrational Hamiltonian of a molecule. DVRs corresponding to Hermite, Laguerre, generalized Laguerre, Legendre, and Jacobi polynomial bases and to the Lanczos basis for Morse Qs… Show more

“…This also leads to compact expressions for the kinetic-energy matrix elements that were missing in references [2,14]. These sum rules were already used by Szalay in a similar context [19]. Finally, new sum rules involving Laguerre or Jacobi zeros and weights are derived from these expressions.…”

“…Depending on the underlying basis, DVR matrix elements of differential operators can be calculated straightforwardly either via basis transformations to and from a finite basis representation 34 , e.g. a harmonic oscillator, or by explicit formulas 35 , most commonly based on Fourier functions [36][37][38] . The selection of an appropriate DVR basis consists primarily of choosing one whose underlying basis functions have the same boundary conditions as the eigenfunctions to be obtained 37 .…”

“…The exact density of states was calculated by binning the eigenvalues obtained from direct diagonalization of the full Hamiltonian in a twodimensional DVR based on Gauss-Hermite quadrature. 54 The density correlation calculations utilized a 50-iteration Lanczos scheme. The figure highlights a typical difficulty with testing the accuracy of approximate convolution methods by comparison with the results of a variational basis set/direct diagonalization calculation.…”
