Computing time in finite-difference time-domain can be saved by expressing a portion of the grid (macromodel) as an linear time invariant (LTI) system. The output then becomes a convolution of the input with the LTI impulse response. To achieve a constant time for the convolution, the macromodel's r

โฆ Synopsis
A very simple yet effective device for reducing the number of self-consistent-field (SCF) cycles in central finite-difference calculations of molecular properties is presented. The efficiency of this is demonstrated by MINDOh calculations of the force constants of a variety of molecules. The device consists of using information about the wavefunction at two values of a perturbation parameter to provide an estimate of the wavefunction at a third. This estimate is then used as an initial guess in an SCF procedure. The underlying theory is discussed and applications to other problems are suggested.
