Abstract
For orbital optimization within the MC SCF theory a modification of the OEH method is proposed with the direction of descent determined according to the FletcherβReeves gradient method. The combined method developed on this basis ensures the convergence of the iterative process when the Hessian singularities occur. The convergence properties of the method proposed are studied by performing the ab initio water molecule calculations using two types of multiconfigurational wave functions.

The efficiency of the use of a diagonal approximation to the hessian matrix coupled with a quasi-Newton updating method in MC SCF calculations is examined. In general, satisfactory convergence is obtained provided the CI expansion corresponds to a full valence shell CL
## Abstract The performance of a recently proposed scaled oneβelectron Hamiltonian (SOEH) model is tested against parallel sets of restricted openβshell calculations by the method of Roothaan. It is found that the energy calculated by SOEH model, in general, lies slightly higher than the energy com
