Abstract:
A new method based on the penalty-function way of satisfying equality constraints is proposed for the determination of constrained pure state one-electron density matrices for closed-shell many-electron systems. The algorithm suggested can handle many constraints simultaneously. Certain interesting features of the proposed algorithm are discussed with numerical examples.
