Equations are generated for a direct (non-SCF) calculation of the Hartree-Fock density matrix. The existing ab initio program MOLECI is modified for the direct calculation of the density matrix (DCDM). Two problem formulations are investigated. Density matrices are calculated that are constrained only to the proper total population. This constraint is taken into account using the method of Lagrange undetermined multipliers. The system of first partial derivatives of the Lagrangian functions are solved by a Gauss-Jordan technique. Calculations of this type are done for the hydrogen fluoride, water, methane, boron hydride, and hydrogen molecules. DCDM calculations are also completed for density matrices constrained to both the proper total population and idempotency. In this formulation, the constraints are taken into account as penalty functions and the solution is obtained using a nonlinear optimizer. Idempotent density matrices are calculated for the hydrogen molecule as well as for hydrogen fluoride and boron hydride. Criteria are proposed for judging the quality of DCDM solution obtained for hydrogen molecule calculations. The global optimum solution for the hydrogen molecule was not found as judged by these proposed criteria.
