Title: Hybrid grid/basis set discretizations of the Schrödinger equation

Journal Article · · Journal of Chemical Physics
DOI:https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5007066· OSTI ID:1511036

We present a new kind of basis function for discretizing the Schrödinger equation in electronic structure calculations, called a gausslet, which has wavelet-like features but is composed of a sum of Gaussians. Gausslets are placed on a grid and combine advantages of both grid and basis set approaches. They are orthogonal, infinitely smooth, symmetric, polynomially complete, and with a high degree of locality. Because they are formed from Gaussians, they are easily combined with traditional atom-centered Gaussian bases. As a result, we also introduce diagonal approximations that dramatically reduce the computational scaling of two-electron Coulomb terms in the Hamiltonian.
