β¦ Synopsis
Geometry optimizations being still very time-consumin s, methods are imrstigated to sa%e time .tt least in spcci.d cases. The Hellmzutn-Fejnmzm force is reconsidered as 3x1 approximation to the energy gradrent .md is found useful for the first few iterations of a Fometry optimization for molecules haking no atoms with polarized inner-shell eiectrons. The "xwcfunction force" (the difference between the rual force and the Hellmann-reynmsn force) is utilized tinally in n floatins orbital geometry optimization to optimize the position of the ruclei relative to the orb1t.d posltion. This IS performed simultaneously in the same variable metric procedure as the standard optimization.
