Abstract: | The regularization principle, which is based on the concept of linearly independent singular functions, makes it possible to calculate many important types of molecular matrix elements arising in the variational LCAO-MO-SCF scheme. This is done using a direct approach that employs reduction of these elements to finite sums of convergent and divergent one-electron integrals. A universal algorithm is developed to calculate two-center one-electron molecular integrals involving both singular and ordinary Slater functions. The numerical stability of the algorithms and the accuracy of the integral calculation are analyzed, and numerical estimates are given. V. I.
