Among the two electron integrals occurring in the molecular context, the threecenter Coulomb and hybrid integrals are numerous and difficult to evaluate to high accuracy. The analytical and numerical difficulties arise mainly from the presence of the spherical Bessel function and hypergeometric seri

โฆ Synopsis
Two-electron, four-center Coulomb integrals are undoubtedly the most difficult type involved in ab initio and density functional theory molecular structure calculations. Millions of such integrals are required for molecules of interest; therefore rapidity is the primordial criterion when the precision has been reached. This work presents an extremely efficient approach for improving convergence of semiinfinite very oscillatory integrals, based on the nonlinear D-transformation and some useful properties of spherical Bessel, reduced Bessel, and sine functions. The new method is now shown to be applicable to evaluating the two-electron, four-center Coulomb integrals over B functions. The section with numerical results illustrates the unprecedented efficiency of the new approach in evaluating the integrals of interest.
