Member Function Documentation

double SCF::cycle	(	double	dEprev,
		std::vector< double > &	extraValues
	)

protectedvirtual

Single cycle of the self-consistency loop. In each subsequent cycle, Pulay will try to zero the difference between getVariable() before and after the cycle. The implementation should only do the work of computing the updated variable; debug printing and I/O, if any, should occur in report() instead.

Parameters

dEprev	energy change at previous cycle, which may be used to adjust accuracy of any inner optimizations
extraValues	Specify the values of any extra convergence parameters specified in minimize()

Returns: Energy at end of cycle

Implements Pulay< SCFvariable >.

SCFvariable SCF::getVariable ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Write variable to stream.

Get the current variable from state of system

Implements Pulay< SCFvariable >.
