Abstract
Convergence of the SelfโConsistent Polarization Field (SCPF) method of polarization energy calculations for organic molecular materials is analysed. Use of the Conjugate Gradients method for solving the SCPF equations is proposed. Efficiency of both the original and the newly proposed approach is compared for selected model systems. Brief discussion of the factors influencing the performance of Krylovโspaceโbased methods for polarization energy calculations is presented. ยฉ 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Comput Chem, 2008

A renormalized hypervirial Pad6 scheme is shown to yield correct energy values for cubic-quartic oscillators only if the quartic term is treated to be of higher order in perturbation than the cubic term. Furthermore, the applicability of the technique to octic anharmonic oscillators, even-power poly
## Abstract Alchemical free energy calculations involving the removal or insertion of atoms into condensed phase systems generally make use of softโcore scaling of nonbonded interactions, designed to circumvent numerical instabilities that arise from weakly interacting โhardโ atoms in close proximi
Practical improvements for the semi-empirical calculation of long-range and short-range energies between two arbitrary molecules are given. Interaction energies between molecules or' organic solvents are calculated and compared with experimental vaporization energies.
