CamCASP => Numerical Issues

Introduction

This page contains information related to the numerical accuracy of CamCASP.

Integral Switch

Integrals can be calculated using density-fitting (the default). But for a few kinds of 2-index integrals (nuclear, overlap, etc.) there is the possibility of calculating them without density-fitting. This can often be advantageous, in fact, for nuclear and overlap integrals, this is probably the thing to do whenever you can.

The energy modules all have the optional command

 INTEGRAL Switch = <switch>

that can be used to set the method used to calculate the integrals. In general, Switch = 0 means use density-fitting, and Switch = 1 means use the exact evaluation (no density-fitting) if possible. Not all integrals can be evaluated without density-fitting. See df_integrals.F90 for details.

The 4-index Coulomb integrals are robust (see Robust Integrals for details.). So these can be obtained quite accurately using density-fitting, i.e.,
