Abstract
In this article, low-rank separable analytical representations
of Coulomb-like potentials are presented. Cartesian coordinates are
employed for the sake of generality. The original potential is regularized
to avoid the numerical divergence associated with the coalescence
region. Furthermore, a range-separation approach is adopted. The long-range
part, being smooth and well-behaved, can be directly expressed in
our functional sparse Tucker Finite Basis Representation (sparse Tucker
FBR). On the other hand, the short-range part, which contains the
tamed singularity, is expressed using a sparse spectral representation.
The quality and accuracy of the full sparse Tucker expression is demonstrated
by comparison to the two-interacting-electron-in-a-box model.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere. Papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics are appropriate for submission to this Journal. Specific topics include advances in or applications of ab initio quantum mechanics, density functional theory, design and properties of new materials, surface science, Monte Carlo simulations, solvation models, QM/MM calculations, biomolecular structure prediction, and molecular dynamics in the broadest sense including gas-phase dynamics, ab initio dynamics, biomolecular dynamics, and protein folding. The Journal does not consider papers that are straightforward applications of known methods including DFT and molecular dynamics. The Journal favors submissions that include advances in theory or methodology with applications to compelling problems.
