Abstract
Optimal orbital exponents are approximated by minimization of the reduced Hamiltonian orbital ground state energy. They appear to be as good as and are obtained at much less expense than the values derived by the usual SCF exponent optimization scheme. Partitioning of energy into 0‐energy, 1‐energy, and 2‐energy (Absar and Coleman, Int. J. Quant. Chem. 10, 319 (1976); Chem. Phys. Lett. 39, 60 (1976)) is used to study the variation in the electronic energy surface upon variation of orbital exponents. The 1‐energy operator, the natural orbitals of which are the reduced Hamiltonian orbitals, is compared with the SCF operator.

## Abstract The extended Hartree–Fock equations of the spin‐projected scheme are derived in a form suitable for the construction of a surely convergent method of solution using successive optimization of the individual orbitals. The derivation is based on a specific form of the generalized Brilloui
Group theoretic methods are presented for the transformations of integrals and the evaluation of matrix elements encountered in multiconfigurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) and configuration interaction (CI) calculations. The method has the advantages of needing only to deal with a symmetry un
