Implicit projection operators in basis-set expansions of the molecular Dirac-Fock-Slater problem

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5842175
The Dirac-Fock method has proved very satisfactory for calculations of atomic properties by numerical methods. It has, however, not been so successful in calculating molecular properties using basis set expansion techniques. This lack of success is due primarily to properties of the Dirac Hamiltonian. It is shown that the variational collapse can be avoided by proper choice of the basis set.
