Name

QCSCF — Explicitly invoke quadratically convergent SCF procedure.

Synopsis

 QCSCF 

Description

A new quadratically convergent SCF algorithm has been added. The QCSCF method can either be used immediately if called by the QCSCF keyword, or will be automatically invoked if the energy does not decrease quickly enough. The converger is based on MO rotations by exponential transformation, rational functional approximation, and a search for λ by a Davidson-like diagonalization. Control of the stepsize is exercised to ensure a decrease in energy at each cycle.
