Abstract
Constraints that may be applied to the spin orbitals used in Hartree–Fock theory are classified and discussed. Once a constrained stationary wavefunction has been obtained by a self‐consistent procedure, it may be tested for stability both internally (with constraints remaining) and externally (with some constraints removed). Methods for carrying out these tests are presented. In addition, a general technique is described for further energy minimization following detection of an instability.

Property-optimized gaussian basis sets for molecular response calculations.

TL;DR: The first comprehensive set of property-optimized augmented basis sets for elements H-Rn except lanthanides is constructed and the efficiency of the basis sets is demonstrated by computing static polarizabilities of icosahedral fullerenes up to C(720) using hybrid density functional theory.

Stability analysis for solutions of the closed shell kohn-sham equation

TL;DR: The stability conditions for restricted closed shell Kohn-Sham density functional treatments were derived in this paper, where they obtained the equivalent of singlet and triplet instabilities, and the nonreal instability now becomes trivial and just expresses the aufbau principle.

A spin correction procedure for unrestricted Hartree-Fock and Møller-Plesset wavefunctions for singlet diradicals and polyradicals

TL;DR: A spin correction procedure for removing the spin contamination from unrestricted Hartree-Fock and Moller-Plesset wavefunctions for singlet diradicals is examined in this article.

A challenge for density functionals: Self-interaction error increases for systems with a noninteger number of electrons

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the self-interaction error of widely used density functionals in describing the dissociation behavior of some homonuclear and heteronuclear diatomic radicals.

Stability Conditions for the Solutions of the Hartree—Fock Equations for Atomic and Molecular Systems. Application to the Pi‐Electron Model of Cyclic Polyenes

TL;DR: In this paper, the Hartree-Fock determinant minimization of the energy expectation value was derived using the language familiar in quantum chemistry and the stability conditions for closed-shell electronic systems were specified.

Stability of Hartree-Fock States

William H. Adams
- 01 Sep 1962 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the stability of the Hartree-Fock wave function for LiH relative to an unrestricted one is investigated, and it is shown that at a sufficiently low density, the unrestricted HartreeFock method gives a lower energy.
