In the relativistic KKR method the trial function inside the MT-sphere is chosen as a linear combination of solutions of the Dirac equation in the center-symmetrical field with variational coefficients C7 (k)... 

The RQDO radial, scalar, equation derives from a non-unitary decoupling of Dirac s second order radial equation. The analytical solutions, RQDO orbitals, are linear combinations of the large and small components of Dirac radial function [6,7] ... 

The function / is a probability density, indicated by the shading of the lower right part of Fig. 6. To bring about a decomposition of into eigenstates, one must choose the function / as a linear combination of Dirac delta functions (i.e., as an appropriate distribution). 

The potential surrouding each atom in a molecule is not the same as that for the free atom, because electron transfer occurs between atoms in the molecule. This means that atomic orbitals in the molecule are distinct from those in the free atom. Accordingly, it is necessary to use atomic orbitals optimized for each atomic potential in the molecule, as basis functions. In the present methods, the molecular wave functions were expressed as linear combinations of atomic orbitals obtained by numerically solving the Dirac-Slater or Hartree-Fock-Slater equations in the atomic-like potential derived from the spherical average of the molecular charge density around the nuclei [15]. Thus the atomic orbitals used as basis functions were automatically optimized for the molecule and thus the minimum size of the present basis set has enough flexibility to form accurate molecular orbitals. 

To keep the Dirac exchange [15] of the electron gas part complementary to Exc of Equation 5.7, the classic form of linear combinations is Fj 1 f , for hybrid functionals. Thus, the number of fitted... 

The fact that the generalized coordinate / is a linear combination of all bath modes and that the potential is quadratic in the bath variables allows one to express the potential of mean force w[f ] in terms of a single quadrature over the system coordinate q. The detailed derivation is presented in Ref. 42, the main technical trick being the usual use of the Fourier representation of the Dirac 8 functions. The resulting expression is... 

The set of B-splines of order k on the knot sequence f< forms a complete basis for piecewise polynomials of degree fc — 1 on the interval spanned by the knot sequence. We represent the solution to the radial Dirac equation as a linear combination of these B-splines and work with the B-spline representation of the wave functions rather than the wave functions themselves. 

The relativistic correction for the kinetic energy in the Dirac equation is naturally applicable to the Kohn-Sham equation. This relativistic Kohn-Sham equation is called the Dirac-KohnSham equation (Rajagopal 1978 MacDonald and Vosko 1979). The Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation is founded on the Rajagopal-Callaway theorem, which is the relativistic expansion of the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem on the basis of QED (Rajagopal and Callaway 1973). In this theorem, two theorems are contained The first theorem proves that the four-component external potential, which is the vector-potential-extended external potential, is determined by the four-component current density, which is the current-density-extended electron density. On the other hand, the second theorem establishes the variational principle for every four-component current density. See Sect. 6.5 for vector potential and current density. Consequently, the solution of the Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation is represented by the four-component orbital. This four-component orbital is often called a molecular spinor. However, this name includes no indication of orbital, which is the solution of one-electron SCF equations moreover, the targets of the calculations are not restricted to molecules. Therefore, in this book, this four-component orbital is called an orbital spinor. The Dirac-Kohn-Sham wavefunction is represented by the Slater determinant of orbital spinors (see Sect. 2.3). Following the Roothaan method (see Sect. 2.5), orbital spinors are represented by a linear combination of the four-component basis spinor functions, Xp, ... 

If we were to assume a basis set expansion for the spinor of the type of a linear combination of atomic orbitals (LCAO) we could differentiate the La-grangian functional directly and would obtain equations in matrix form (compare the Dirac-Hartree-Roothaan equations in chapter 10). Here, we proceed in a more general way and proceed with the general method of variations. The variation of any of the matrix elements over an operator o containing in L[ tpi, ey ] may be written as the limit for infinitely small variations of a given orbital ipi as... 

Many-electron wave functions correct to oi may be expanded in a set of CSFs that spans the entire N-electron positive-energy space j (7/J 7r), constructed in terms of Dirac one-electron spinors. Individual CSFs are eigenfimctions of the total angular momentum and parity operators and are linear combinations of antisymmetrized products of positive-energy spinors (g D(+ ). The one-electron spinors are mutually orthogonal so the CSFs / (7/J 7r) are mutually orthogonal. The un-... 

The calculations were performed with the linear combination of Gaussian type orbital density functional theory (LCGTO-DFT) deMon2k (Koster et al. 2006) code. In O Fig. 16-1, the crosses refer to all-electron polarizabilities calculated with the local density approximation (LDA) employing the exchange functional from Dirac (1930) in combination with the correlation functional proposed by Vosko, Wilk and Nusair (VWN) (Vosko et al. 1980). The stars denote polarizabilities obtained with the gradient corrected exchange-correlation functional proposed by Perdew, Burke and Ernzerhof (PBE) (Perdew et al. 1996). 

In our discussion, we have so far examined the electron density in the sjrin-orbital and orbital spaces. Let us now consider the electron density in ordinary space. Of particular interest are the expectation values of operators that probe the presence of electrons at particular points in space. Thus, the one-electron first-quantization operator in the form of a linear combination of Dirac delta functions... 

In the first chapter, we saw that if we wanted to rotate the 2px function, we automatically also needed its companion 2py function. If this is extended to out-of-plane rotations, the 2/ function will also be needed. The set of the three p-orbitals forms a prime example of what is called a linear vector space. In general, this is a space that consists of components that can be combined linearly using real or complex numbers as coefficients. An n-dimensional linear vector space consists of a set of n vectors that are linearly independent. The components or basis vectors will be denoted as fi, with I ranging from 1 to n. At this point we shall introduce the Dirac notation [1] and rewrite these functions as / >, which characterizes them as so-called kef-functions. Whenever we have such a set of vectors, we can set up a complementary set of so-called fera-functions, denoted as /t I The scalar product of a bra and a ket yields a number. It is denoted as the bracket fk fi). In other words, when a bra collides with a ket on its right, it yields a scalar number. A bra-vector is completely defined when its scalar product with every ket-vector of the vector space is given.
