Abstract

A series of five different Iterative Natural Orbital (INO) procedures are tested for the ground state of water and are compared on the basis of their respective convergence properties. The choice of configuration space employed in these methods is shown to be a key factor in determining the results of such calculations. If the CI space is generated by taking all single excitations with respect to a series of dominant or reference configurations, it is concluded that the practice of varying such generating species at each iteration is highly desirable. In general the choice of the configuration space is found to be much more important than the attainment of strict NO convergence, whereby experience indicates that inclusion of all singly and doubly excited configurations (or at least a select subset thereof) relative to a series of dominant configurations provides the most efficient means of approximating the true NOS of a given system within the general INO framework.

We provide sufficient convergence conditions for a certain class of inexact Newton-like methods to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear equation in a Banach space. The equation contains a nondifferentiable term and at each step we use the inverse of the same linear operator. We use Ptak-like con
