DIAGONALIZATION
&DIAGONALIZATION {Logical} |
|
controls the activation of the diagonalization method | |
This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one logical. | |
The lone keyword behaves as a switch to
.TRUE. |
|
Default value:
.FALSE. |
ALGORITHM {Keyword} |
|
Algorithm to be used for diagonalization | |
This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one keyword. | |
Default value:
STANDARD |
|
List of valid keywords:
|
EPS_ADAPT {Real} |
|
Required accuracy in iterative diagonalization as compared to current SCF convergence | |
This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real. | |
Default value:
0.00000000E+000 |
EPS_ITER {Real} |
|
Required accuracy in iterative diagonalization | |
This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real. | |
Default value:
1.00000000E-008 |
EPS_JACOBI {Real} |
|
Below this threshold value for the SCF convergence the pseudo-diagonalization method using Jacobi rotations is activated. This method is much faster than a real diagonalization and it is even speeding up while achieving full convergence.However, it needs a pre-converged wavefunction obtained by at least one real diagonalization which is further optimized while keeping the original eigenvalue spectrum. The MO eigenvalues are NOT updated. The method might be useful to speed up calculations for large systems e.g. using a semi-empirical method. | |
