Exchange integrals electronic structure methods

As presented, the Roothaan SCF process is carried out in a fully ab initio manner in that all one- and two-electron integrals are computed in terms of the specified basis set no experimental data or other input is employed. As described in Appendix F, it is possible to introduce approximations to the coulomb and exchange integrals entering into the Fock matrix elements that permit many of the requisite F, v elements to be evaluated in terms of experimental data or in terms of a small set of fundamental orbital-level coulomb interaction integrals that can be computed in an ab initio manner. This approach forms the basis of so-called semi-empirical methods. Appendix F provides the reader with a brief introduction to such approaches to the electronic structure problem and deals in some detail with the well known Htickel and CNDO- level approximations. 

Another reason for the choice of the title is the above-mentioned introduction of the Xa-method and the MS-Xa method by Slater and coworkers. There are, however, in particular two other reasons for choosing the title. The first is the formulation of the Density Functional Theory by Hohenberg and Kohn in 1964 [19], which today is probably one of the most quoted papers in electronic structure calculations. This basic work was followed by another important paper in 1965 by Kohn and Sham [20], where they showed how one could use the method for practical calculations and introduced the Kohn-Sham, KS, exchange potential. Exactly the same expression for the exchange potential had previously been derived by Caspar [21], This exchange potential is therefore often known as the Caspar-Kohn-Sham, GKS, potential. Another very important reason for choice of the title is the introduction of the three dimensional numerical integration method by Ellis and Painter in 1968-1970 [22-24]. This... 

The fourth-order perturbation estimates give us expressions in terms of t, U and K, and hence, we can relate X to these electronic structure parameters, which can be calculated with spin-unrestricted single determinant methods. To simplify the perturbation estimates we neglect a, fi and y, and all intersite exchange integrals in the interaction matrices derived in Sect. 5.4.1. The interaction matrices for triplet and singlet states then become...
