The value of detennines how much computer time and memory is needed to solve the -dimensional Sj HjjCj= E Cj secular problem in the Cl and MCSCF metiiods. Solution of tliese matrix eigenvalue equations requires computer time that scales as (if few eigenvalues are computed) to A, (if most eigenvalues are... 

This is because no four-indexed two-electron integral like expressions enter into the integrals needed to compute the energy. All such integrals involve p(r) or the product p(/)p(r) because p is itself expanded in a basis (say of M functions), even the term p(r)p(r) scales no worse than tvF. The solution of the KS equations for the KS orbitals ([). involves solving a matrix eigenvalue problem this...

As in all matrix eigenvalue problems, we are able to express (n-1) elements of the eigenveetor v(k) in terms of one remaining element. However, we ean never solve for this one last element. So, for eonvenienee, we impose one more eonstraint (equation to be... 

Remember that ai is the representation of g(x) in the fi basis. So the operator eigenvalue equation is equivalent to the matrix eigenvalue problem if the functions fi form a complete set. 

Roothaan actually solved the problem by allowing the LCAO coefficients to vary, subject to the LCAO orbitals remaining orthonormal. He showed that the LCAO coefficients are given from the following matrix eigenvalue equation ... 

A more general way to treat systems having an odd number of electrons, and certain electronically excited states of other systems, is to let the individual HF orbitals become singly occupied, as in Figure 6.3. In standard HF theory, we constrain the wavefunction so that every HF orbital is doubly occupied. The idea of unrestricted Hartree-Fock (UHF) theory is to allow the a and yS electrons to have different spatial wavefunctions. In the LCAO variant of UHF theory, we seek LCAO coefficients for the a spin and yS spin orbitals separately. These are determined from coupled matrix eigenvalue problems that are very similar to the closed-shell case. 

The LCAO expansion coefficients are found from the matrix eigenvalue problem... 

The next step might be to perform a configuration interaction calculation, in order to get a more accurate representation of the excited states. We touched on this for dihydrogen in an earlier chapter. To do this, we take linear combinations of the 10 states given above, and solve a 10 x 10 matrix eigenvalue problem to find the expansion coefficients. The diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian matrix are given above (equation 8.7), and it turns out that there is a simplification. 

This is clearly a matrix eigenvalue problem the eigenvalues determine tJie vibrational frequencies and the eigenvectors are the normal modes of vibration. Typical output is shown in Figure 14.10, with the mass-weighted normal coordinates expressed as Unear combinations of mass-weighted Cartesian displacements making up the bottom six Unes.
