Fast evaluation of a linear number of local exchange matrices
A fast method is described for evaluating multiple exchange matrices in a Gaussian atomic orbital basis. For insulators, it is asymptotically linear scaling, and is a generalization of the linear scaling exchange (LinK) method, which was formulated for a single exchange matrix [J. Chem. Phys. 109 (1998) 1663]. It is employed to evaluate exchange-type contractions of all derivative density matrices with two-electron integrals for a series of linear alkanes, linear polyacenes, and water clusters using STO-3G, 3-21G, and 6-31G* basis sets. Significant computational savings are obtained for molecules with as few as 10 non-hydrogen atoms.
Q-Chem 2.0: a high-performanceab initio electronic structure program package
ABSTRACT: Q-Chem 2.0 is a new release of an electronic structure programpackage, capable of performing first principles calculations on the ground andexcited states of molecules using both density functional theory and wavefunction-based methods. A review of the technical features contained withinQ-Chem 2.0 is presented. This article contains brief descriptive discussions of thekey physical features of all new algorithms and theoretical models, together withsample calculations that illustrate their performance. c 2000 John Wiley S electronic structure; density functional theory;computer program; computational chemistry Introduction A reader glancing casually at this article mightsuspect on t…
