✦ Synopsis


A simple method which is rigorously invariant under molecular rotations is presented for evaluation of the density functional exchange-correlation energy by numerical quadrature. The corresponding expressions for the first and second derivatives of the energy with respect to nuclear displacement are presented. In particular, such a scheme is necessary to remove the difficulties previously encountered in calculating Kahn-Sham harmonic vibrational frequencies for low-lying modes.

The Euler-Lagrange equation in density functional theory is generally a differential (or integro-differential) equation. An integral equation for direct calculations has been obtained from the Euler-Lagrange equation. It is easier to solve the new equation numerically than the original differential
