By introducing the definition of the reciprocal basis vector, the unit operator can be established, allowing vectors and operators to be represented in matrix form, and the solution of equations can be reduced to a series of basis vector transformations. By using this method and discarding the const

Abstract
A condition for the equivalence of the Löwdin orthogonalization method and various localization methods is derived, taking the matrix elements of the localizing operator into consideration. In the example of the π atomic orbitals of benzene, it is shown that the “ultralocalized” functions defined in the Anderson fashion with help of the Boys minimum‐fluctuation criterion do not fulfill this condition, in contrast with a Ruedenberg‐type localization.
