Multiresolution quantum chemistry in multiwavelet bases

Abstract

Multiresolution analysis in multiwavelet bases is being investigated as an alternative computational framework for molecular electronic structure calculations. The features that make it attractive include an orthonormal basis, fast algorithms with guaranteed precision and sparse representations of many operators (e.g., Green functions). In this paper, we discuss the multiresolution formulation of quantum chemistry including application to density functional theory and developments that make practical computation in three and higher dimensions. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2003.
