摘要
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for energy gradients in valence bond self-consistent field(VBSCF) method with non-orthogonal orbitals.The frozen core approximation method is extended to the case of non-orthogonal orbitals.The expressions for the total energy and its gradients are presented by introducing auxiliary orbitals,where inactive orbitals are orthogonal,while active orbitals are non-orthogonal themselves but orthogonal to inactive orbitals.It is shown that our new algorithm has a low scaling of(Na+1)m4,where Na and m are the numbers of the active orbitals and basis functions,respectively,and is more efficient than the existing VBSCF algorithms.
This paper presents an efficient algorithm for energy gradients in valence bond self-consistent field (VBSCF) method with non-orthogonal orbitals. The frozen core approximation method is extended to the case of non-orthogonal orbitals. The expressions for the total energy and its gradients are presented by introducing auxiliary orbitals, where inactive orbitals are orthogonal, while active orbitals are non-orthogonal themselves but orthogonal to inactive orbitals. It is shown that our new algorithm has a low scaling of (N a + 1)m 4, where N a and m are the numbers of the active orbitals and basis functions, respectively, and is more efficient than the existing VBSCF algorithms.
