Abstract:AbstractsA general formalism is presented for the determination of the optimum natural orbitals within the various strongly orthogonal geminals of a wavefunction describing a 2N-electron closed-shell molecule or atom. The relationship to Hartree-Fock-Roothaan theory is established; the algorithm that is developed is quadratically convergent to the desired result, and does not ignore off-diagonal Lagrangian multipliers, or require an infinite series of 2 x 2 orthogonal transformations of the original basis.On p… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
