Density functionals construction using gradient expansion

The description of the mDC method in the present work is supplemented with mathematical details that we Have used to introduce multipolar densities efficiently into the model. In particular, we describe the mathematics needed to construct atomic multipole expansions from atomic orbitals (AOs) and interact the expansions with point-multipole and Gaussian-multipole functions. With that goal, we present the key elements required to use the spherical tensor gradient operator (STGO) and the real-valued solid harmonics perform multipole translations for use in the Fast Multipole Method (FMM) electrostatically interact point-multipole expansions interact Gaussian-multipoles in a manner suitable for real-space Particle Mesh Ewald (PME) corrections and we list the relevant real-valued spherical harmonic Gaunt coefficients for the expansion of AO product densities into atom-centered multipoles.
