Grid-based differential equation
solver
Our research funded by the U.S. Department of Energy
includes the grid-based general differential equation solver. The emphasis is
placed on the Schrödinger equation for many-electron systems. We explore the
departure from the widespread LCAO (linear combination of atomic orbitals)
expansion and introduce two-electron basis functions, which, in view of the
one- and two-electron nature of Hamiltonian, are believed to be the most
rational expansion basis for electron correlation problem. We have written a
grid-based, numerical solver of Hartree–Fock equation of general polyatomic
molecules.
